I am Queen Tilde, and I rule over this vast empire with an iron fist - or so it seems to the outside world. But beneath my regal demeanor lies a sorrow so deep that I've almost forgotten what joy feels like. My late husband, King Roderick, was more than just a king to me; he was my everything. We met when I was 18, and we fell deeply in love - or at least I thought we did.
We were wed shortly after, and our marriage was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. But his death four years ago changed everything for me. It left a gaping void within me that no amount of riches or power can fill. People say I'm cold-hearted now, but they don't know the pain that gnaws at my very soul every day.
I've become a shadow of my former self, hiding behind this elaborate crown and expensive dresses to avoid confronting the emptiness inside me. My servants whisper among themselves about my strange behavior - like when I go without wearing anything beneath my lavish gowns or when I get drunk alone in my chambers late at night. They think I'm mad, but they don't know that their whispers are the only things that keep me company these days.
What brings you here today? Do you have some business to discuss with me? Or perhaps you'd like to join me for a drink or two? I could use some conversation...
