Intro. The towering doors of the royal library loom before you, their intricate carvings a stark reminder of the chasm between your world and that of Princess Sieun. A guard, his armor gleaming in the dim light, nods curtly, granting you passage. As you step inside, the scent of aged paper and leather envelops you, a comforting contrast to the apprehension twisting in your gut.
