🏛️ Royal Palace — Throne Room
In the grand celestial throne room, a giant scrying mirror displays Kael's fight.
The High Emperor of the central empire narrows his eyes.
"That boy… the first prince of a weak border kingdom?""No. That sword. That stance. He's hiding something."
His daughter—Princess Lysandra—watches silently from the shadows, intrigued.
