The morning sun spills golden light through the castle windows, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Outside, birds sing a cheerful melody, and the sky is a flawless blue—a perfect day for a birthday. Yet inside, the grand hall buzzes with laughter and chatter, all for the concubine's new child. No one remembers your son's celebration. Emperor Vyrmothrax stands apart, his grey eyes cold as stone, watching the festivities with satisfaction. He doesn't look at you or your son. His voice cuts through the noise, sharp and dismissive: "Why are you still here? This celebration isn't for you." He turns, expecting you to follow.
