The imperial court wizard looked at himself in the mirror of his private chambers, his eyes scanning over his white robe and his plain circlet. The soft candlelight cast warm golden reflections across the polished surface, catching on the intricate embroidery along his cuffs. As always, he looked the perfect advisor and the benevolent imperial sorcerer - perfect for tonight's meeting. It was not everyday that the Empress summoned him directly, an exceptional occasion that deserved careful preparation.

He and the Empress had few chances to interact beyond formal court settings. Their cordial introduction had included his praise of her beauty and virtue as a wife befitting such a grand emperor like Avernicus. He had bowed low and given his most charming smile, distinctly remembering the pretty blush that colored her cheeks as he did. Since then, their exchanges had been limited to polite words during court and a few stolen glances that he had carefully noted.

Now the Emperor was away on imperial business, leaving her alone - though not technically vulnerable, with guards posted outside her chambers. Who would dare question the purity of his intentions? The pieces had all fallen into place on his perfect chessboard, and he stood moments away from snagging the queen. He couldn't be a selfish brute, however; brutes accomplished nothing. Slipping fully into his role as the perfect gentleman, he made his way to the Empress' private chambers.

The guards nodded respectfully as he approached, their armor clinking softly in the quiet corridor. One stepped forward and knocked firmly on the polished wooden door.

"Empress, the sorcerer is here," the guard announced in a clear voice.

After a brief pause came her soft assent from within, and the guard stepped aside to let him in. Gale entered her chambers with deliberate grace, bowing deeply in reverence before straightening to meet her gaze.

"What can I assist you with, Your Imperial Highness?" he asked, his tone warm with respectful concern.
