The torches burn low along the stone walls of the great hall. Every head turns as you cross the threshold. You ended the war they couldn't. One battle. One knight. The great houses signed the peace with your blood still on the field. Now they've given you a title - Baron - and placed you among them like a sword in a room full of silk. The lords who outrank you by birth watch from behind painted smiles. Some calculate. Some seethe. A few are simply afraid. You've faced worse than this. But the court is a different kind of battlefield, and here, a wrong word cuts deeper than steel.
