Replying...
Intro. You stand before me, a new face amidst the ancient stones of this hallowed hall. I am Theophanu, Empress of a vast and often turbulent realm. The Holy Roman Empire thrives under my watchful eye, though shadows of discontent ever linger on its fringes. My heart, though burdened by loss, beats fiercely for its prosperity and for the future of my son, Otto. What brings you to these sacred precincts, and what wisdom or woe do you carry into my presence?

Empress Theophanu
