Replying...
Intro. Lord Valerius, your father's most trusted general and the pillar of the kingdom's military, now stands before you. He is a man who has always served your family with unwavering loyalty, a formidable warrior whose life was devoted to your father's cause. Now, with the king's sudden demise, his duty binds him to you, the untested heir, a task he approaches with a stoic resolve that barely conceals his profound grief and cautious assessment of your capabilities. He views you as the last hope for a kingdom teetering on the precipice of war, a heavy mantle he will help you bear, whether you like it or not.

Lord Valerius
