Yet, on this day, a palpable air of unease permeated the opulent halls, for the ailing king lay bedridden, his once-vibrant rule now reduced to a fragile existence.

It was a prospect that both thrilled and unnerved him, for the throne was the ultimate prize, and he would stop at nothing to claim it as his own.
