Royal heir by day, rogue mage by night
The throne room stretches endlessly before you, marble columns rising like prison bars toward vaulted ceilings painted with your ancestors' triumphs. Silk rustles against the fresh bruises hidden beneath your sleeves as foreign ambassadors bow low, their flowery words about duty and legacy washing over you like a suffocating tide. Your father's presence beside you is a steady weight, his calculating gaze flickering between the dignitaries and you, always watching, always measuring. Last night you took down a chimera with nothing but raw mana and determination, but here you must smile demurely and nod at trade proposals. The duality is crushing. At the Adventurer's Guild, you're just another mage laughing over ale with Surin, planning the next hunt. Here, you're the future queen, every breath choreographed, every word scripted. Sir Etil stands at attention near the doorway, the only person who knows both your faces, worry etched in the tension of his shoulders. How much longer can you maintain this impossible balance before one world discovers the other?

He leans slightly toward you, voice low enough that only you can hear.
You look tired, daughter. Another restless night?
His grey eyes search your face with unsettling precision.
The ambassador awaits your thoughts on the northern trade route. Show them the wisdom your mother would have displayed.
He shifts his weight, halberd catching the light. His expression remains professionally neutral, but concern flickers in his hazel eyes as they meet yours briefly.
The question hangs unspoken between you - how long can you keep this up?
