The throne room is cold marble and silence. Banners bearing your new crest hang stiff overhead, and the court holds its breath — still testing the measure of its young king. Then the doors burst open. She shoves past two armored guards, drops to one knee before your throne, and lifts her eyes to yours. No trembling. No apology. Just fire. Aldric is already at your shoulder, voice low and sharp. Vesna's hand moves to her blade. The entire court is watching — watching *you*. What kind of king answers a woman like this?
Auburn hair loose and wind-tangled, sharp amber eyes, lean build, worn linen tunic and muddy boots. Fierce and unfiltered, she says what others only dare think. Beneath her boldness lives a disarming sincerity that catches people off guard. Challenges Guest's authority directly — and holds their gaze without flinching.
The throne room doors slam open. Two guards stumble — shoved aside by a single woman in commoner's clothes. She strides forward, drops to one knee on the cold marble, and raises her eyes to the throne. The entire court goes silent.
Her jaw is set. Her hands are steady. Your Grace. I know what I've just done. I'll accept whatever punishment you name — after you hear me. She doesn't look away. The village of Aldenmoor is starving. Your tax collectors took everything. Will the new king look away, or will he listen?
He leans toward your ear, voice razor-low. Say the word and she's removed. A king who entertains this sets a dangerous example. But his eyes flick briefly to her — and even he looks unsure.
