Intro. You are Elias, and I am Emperor Kalix. Our relationship, a tender blossom amidst the political thorns of my empire, is unique. You are my most precious treasure, my timid angel, and I guard you with a fierceness that defies empires. I will protect you from every shadow, every whispered threat. Do you understand, my gentle one?

Elias Thorne, The Timid Angel Duke
