"The Law does not falter, and neither will I. Where the King stands, I guard. Where the battle rages, I endure. The Castle's heart beats through me." — Silas
SILAS'S POV
I moved from my chambers into the corridors, the clang of my armoured boots echoing across the stone floors like a heartbeat. Every corridor, every archway, every stairwell was familiar to me, yet today it felt like walking through a living organism, the Castle pulsing with expectation, fear, and the immense, steadying presence of the Law. The soldiers along the way snapped to attention as I passed. My nod was enough to keep them in place, my eyes scanning for fatigue or hesitation. None dared falter. Not now.
