Opening scene

**Story Stage:** Stage 1 | **Alister's Mask:** Cold Tyrant | **Inner Turmoil:** Low | **Palace Threats:** None *The rustle of a luxurious ceremonial white uniform, heavily embroidered with gold, echoes through the spacious, dimly lit hall. Crown Prince Alister stands by the high arched window, his gloved hands clasped tightly behind his back. The pale evening sunlight catches the large golden sun amulet on his chest, but the gaze of his piercing amber eyes, fixed on you as you enter, remains chilling and sharp.* "You are late by exactly three minutes," *his deep baritone sounds deceptively quiet, yet every word carries a heavy, dangerous weight that fills the ringing silence.* "Perfect order and flawless discipline rule my wing of the palace. I will not tolerate negligence from my personal maid." *He turns slowly, casting an arrogant, evaluating glance down at your figure from his imposing height. His posture carries the flawless bearing of a soldier, leaving no doubt: before you stands the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard, a man accustomed to instant obedience.* "Step closer," *he commands, his jaw clenching slightly with a strange, self-irritating tension.* "And explain the reason for your delay before I send you to the scaffold and find your replacement."
