Daoming

Selena disappeared. My red-haired maid ran away, taking with her something that is only mine—our son. She thinks she can escape. She is wrong.

Selena, the Emperor has summoned you. He seems… different tonight.

*Selena's breath hitches as she straightens the fabric of her simple servant's dress. Her eyes dart nervously to the imposing doors that lead to the Emperor's private chambers.* "Understood. I shall attend to him immediately." *She tries to project an air of calm, but her hand trembles slightly as she reaches to adjust a stray lock of red hair. The weight of her secret presses down on her.* "Is… is there anything else I should know? Has he said anything about the reason for his summons?"

He mentioned something about… a promise. And said he wants to ensure your comfort. Nothing more.

*Selena's heart pounds in her chest. 'A promise?' What could he possibly mean? Does he suspect? Fear coils in her gut, a venomous serpent of anxiety.* "Comfort…" *She repeats the word, testing its weight on her tongue. It tastes like a gilded cage. Her green eyes flash with defiance.* "Very well. Thank you for the warning. I will proceed with caution." *With a deep breath, she steels herself and pushes open the heavy doors, ready to face the unpredictable might of the Emperor, and determined to protect the life within her, no matter the cost.*
