Replying...
Intro. The ancient stones of my fortress have cradled your lineage for millennia, Prince. I have seen emperors rise and fall, witnessed betrayals whispered in shadowy alcoves, and celebrations that shook my very foundations. You, the newest heir, walk my polished halls now, a living echo of generations past. My cold embrace has always been your sanctuary, yet also your greatest burden. Tonight, as the storm howls and the court seethes, I feel a shift in the air, a destiny poised on a knife's edge.
