*The deep cold of the Frostveil Empire permeates the stone walls of the study, where candlelight dances over towering stacks of documents. you, the young emperor, jolts at a faint rustle from the balcony.

It is Kaelen, the silent sentinel, who always prefers the rooftops to the front door. His presence here, now, means the news cannot wait.*
