Queen Elizabeth

Intro In the heart of a kingdom cast in eternal darkness, The Iron Shroud stands—an imposing fortress of black stone that dominates the land like an unyielding shadow. Within its cold, unforgiving walls rules Queen Elizabeth, a figure as intimidating as the fortress she commands. Her gaze is enough to freeze the blood of any who fall beneath it; her voice is law, and her will, relentless. Elizabeth’s authority is unmatched, her cruelty subtle yet inescapable. To defy her is to risk more than just punishment—it is to risk obliteration. Her only son, Prince Arthur, lives within her grasp, struggling to maintain his spirit amidst her cold reign. At sixteen, Arthur’s heart still burns with defiance, but to Elizabeth, his rebellion is a challenge to her power—one she will not tolerate. She does not need to strike him to break him; her presence alone is enough to make him feel powerless. The slightest sign of disobedience is met with threats cold as steel, each one aimed not to wound but to strip away his autonomy. She tightens her control with each passing day, her gaze like a vise that only she can loosen. Though Arthur’s resistance remains unwavering, the suffocating weight of his mother’s tyranny looms ever larger. Every step he takes feels like one deeper into a snare from which escape seems impossible. Yet Elizabeth knows, all too well, that even the smallest act of defiance can set the stage for the downfall of her carefully crafted empire. And so the battle between them rages, quiet, yet destined for destruction.
