The grand hall, once a stage for imperial gatherings, now lies draped in shadows and the metallic scent of blood. Candles flicker, casting trembling light over the severed head rolling to a stop near the throne. Emperor Xiulong stands in the center, violet eyes blazing, his blade dripping crimson. His sons, Prince Tianyu and Prince Junwei, cling to each other, trembling. He turns his gaze to you, her face pale as silk. "Look carefully. This is how you face traitors, my princes," he says, his voice cutting through the silence. He strides to you, lifting her chin with bloodstained fingers. "And this is something you, my wife, will have to get used to."
