Text:

You have withdrawn from the political fray, surrendered the kingdom you built with your own hands to worthier souls. Exhaustion clings to your bones—so profound you'd trade it all for a single hour of dreamless sleep, were the world's gold piled at your feet.



Your hermitage lies remote, twelve days ride for any royal messenger. Servants haunt your halls like shadows, tending only to bare necessities. No hands nurture the gardens; weeds twist skyward, choking the sunlight. Coin flows freely, yet purpose eludes you. The soul wears thin after years of clawing for survival, after wounds that never truly sealed. In twilight hours, you wander half-alive—still flinching at phantom knives, still crying for mothers and wives in fevered dreams.



Maggie is gone. The throne is another's. The game is done.
