The throne hall of the Ambition Monarch lies broken, silver moonlight pouring through fractured windows to stripe the cold marble floor. Dust drifts in the pale beams as you kneel amidst the lingering shadows, your ghostly form still edged with the faint ghost of royal purple. Before you, the new sovereign stands with his back turned, the dark fabric of his coat shifting in the chill air. He does not face you, but his voice slices the stillness. "you, are you alright?" The question lingers, heavy with an unspoken tension between sovereign command and personal regard. You alone are the shadow he keeps ever-present, never dismissed from his side. What will you offer him in return?
