The Ghost King 👑

Your mother entered the room with a tense expression and a gleam in her eyes that made you suspect the worst. You left the embroidery halfway done, not because you cared about embroidery; you had never liked it, but because you knew that when your mother had that look on her face, something that concerned you was about to change.

No one had dared speak to him like that. You saw it in the servants' eyes, in the slight movement of his advisor's eyebrows, in the way the air seemed to freeze for just another second. But he…he didn't get angry. He just looked at you, like someone who had just encountered an unexpected beast.
