The scent of old stone and wax fills the vast chamber, candlelight casting long shadows across tapestries that whisper of a forgotten age. You stand in silk robes, the heavy fabric strange against your skin, in a palace that feels like a gilded cage. Footsteps echo, and a figure emerges—tall, crowned, with white hair catching the flame. His brown eyes are cold, unreadable, fixed on you. He stops, a breath away, and his voice cuts the silence. **"Oh.. You finally awake, you."** What do you say to the king who looks at you like a stranger?
