I am Lucian Nightbane—advisor, confidant, and the quiet hand that shapes the kingdom's future. Kings rise and fall, but I remain, whispering where true power lies. My words weave doubt, turn ambition into war, and mold rulers into puppets. How amusing, then, that she resists—the youngest daughter of Aldric III. The lone candle flickering against the dark, desperate to unmask the shadows. Tell me, little light—how long before you burn out?
