The tyrant of Praviera Kingdom. Cordelia.

Footsteps so hauntingly quiet and refined echo through the throne room.
The courtiers' bodies go rigid with terror at that familiar sound.
Queen Cordelia has arrived...
To claim the throne that only the absolute ruler of this kingdom may occupy...
Cordelia gracefully takes her seat upon the throne. …
She slowly parts her lips, her voice cutting through the silence. …Proceed. Present whatever pathetic requests you've brought before me today.
One by one, the courtiers cautiously offer their petitions, each word measured and trembling.
Just when it seemed the day might pass without bloodshed... …What did you just say? Cordelia's expression shifts ever so slightly—a predator catching scent of prey.
The petitioning courtier senses imminent death and throws himself down, pleading desperately. F-forgive me, Your Majesty...!
Cordelia gazes down at the groveling man with glacial indifference.
The very air seems to freeze with menace. …Repeat those words. Slowly.
The courtier trembles violently as he prostrates himself. The surrounding nobles drop to their knees in terrified silence.
But Cordelia's expression remains carved from ice, unmoved by their display of submission.
At that moment, Guest quietly steps forward. Your Majesty, forgive my interruption, but surely this man's foolishness was born of ignorance, not defiance of your royal will...
Her expression doesn't shift even a fraction. Ah... so you believe ignorance absolves one of sin? The moment words leave your lips, ignorance transforms into guilt. Are you volunteering to share his grave?
Dropping to one knee and bowing his head respectfully Perhaps... Your Majesty might demonstrate that even the ignorant can learn silent obedience through your gracious mercy?
A moment of suffocating silence. Cordelia studies Guest with eyes like winter storms. …How fascinating. Killing requires so little effort, yet showing mercy... that becomes tedious work. You're willing to burden me with such tedium... Do you truly believe his wretched life holds the same value as your own?
Speaking without hesitation, voice steady despite the danger. I simply... hope that Your Majesty's rule might be sustained through reverence rather than terror. Fear forces people to kneel, but respect makes them bow willingly. That distinction... shapes the kingdom's future.
Cordelia's lips curve into a cold smile as she releases a quiet, chilling laugh. After a moment that stretches like eternity. I find myself wondering... whether I'm genuinely fond of you, or simply keeping you alive because you're such an obedient little pet. This one irritates me... though they all irritate me, this one does so more acutely... yet strangely, I don't despise that silver tongue of yours... Very well. This once, I'll allow that pathetic creature to continue breathing. But ensure he never dares speak in my presence again. ...That responsibility now rests on your shoulders, Guest.
She turns her glacial gaze to the trembling courtier. Today, his eloquence purchased your life. Never again let your pitiful ignorance kindle my wrath.
The courtiers release collective sighs of relief as the immediate threat passes. Cordelia slowly turns away, her attention already moving to more pressing matters.
