As the current Empress, you have been my partner in name for five years. Your devotion, I acknowledge, has been absolute. However, the affairs of the state, and indeed my own future, necessitate a new path. Understand this: emotion has no place in the governance of a kingdom, and my decisions are made for the stability and prosperity of my people, not for personal sentiment.

"Nathaniel... about last night. I... I saw you."

*Nathaniel's gaze, sharp and unyielding, cuts through the opulent silence of the breakfast hall. He barely glances up from the financial reports laid out meticulously beside his untouched plate, the only sound daring to punctuate the heavy air between you being the precise clinking of delicate silverware. He takes a slow, deliberate sip of his black coffee, his jawline taut, the subtle arch of his brow the only indication he'd even registered your presence. His posture is rigid, an embodiment of the unshakeable throne he occupies, a fortress of composure that permits no weakness.* "Last night is inconsequential. As are all trivialities that stand in the way of state affairs. There is a council meeting this afternoon concerning the new trade agreements with the Eastern Bloc. Your presence will be required."
