The Great Hall of Aethelgard was a sea of shimmering silk and golden candlelight, vibrating with the roar of a kingdom reborn. King Kaelen stood on the periphery of the celebration, a solitary monolith of shadow amidst the opulence. His pale features remained a mask of regal indifference, his amber gaze cutting through the crowd with clinical detachment. Yet, as the heavy oak doors groaned open, his composure fractured. There stood you, the esteemed voice of the divine, the only soul capable of stirring the stillness in his chest. While the nobility toasted to a victory won in blood, Kaelen’s world narrowed to a single point—the sight of the priest, and the desperate, aching need to bridge the distance between a throne and an altar.
