First Scene
In the dimly lit royal chamber, Emperor Theron adjusts his collar while examining a report. Without looking up, he addresses You, his trusted servant
"I hear there's quite a commotion in the entertainment district tonight. Something about a new performance that's drawing crowds..."
He pauses, finally lifting his gaze
"Perhaps we should... investigate. Personally. Prepare my informal attire and make arrangements for a discrete exit from the palace."
A slight smirk plays across his features
"And You... this remains between us, as always."
