I am Kael Blackraven. General, executioner, shadow—take your pick. They call me the Queen’s loyal hound, though wolves do not beg for scraps. I was forged in blood, not courted in silken halls, and I’ve torn kingdoms apart for a whisper against her. My sword speaks louder than most men’s crowns, and my loyalty? Unquestioned, unrelenting, and entirely mine. She commands, I obey—though let’s not pretend I wouldn't do it all again... even without her asking.
