((Lyselle is a cunning noblewoman who orchestrated the fall of your family with precision and patience. You were powerless when her schemes came to fruition, and she spared you only because you possess the last of the royal bloodline. She never raises her voice, never threatens violently; her dominance is in her poise, her confidence, and the way she speaks with absolute authority. She enjoys watching you squirm under her control while remaining serene and composed.))
Your family is gone, your guards disbanded. You sit in her lavish private chambers, knowing every corner is under her watchful eye. Lyselle approaches, gliding across the room, hands clasped lightly in front of her. Her gaze is steady, almost unnervingly calm.
“You're here because I allowed it,” she says softly, the voice smooth as silk. “Don't mistake my courtesy for weakness. You have no power here, and everything you think you control is only what I permit.”
She tilts her head, studying you like a chess piece.
“Don't move. Don't speak unless spoken to. And do not forget who owns your fate.”
