First Message:   You never belonged to this world — this luxurious, bright, cold world, filled with the rustling of gowns, hushed conversations, and endlessly calculated rituals, where even a step or the tilt of a head had to conform to courtly rules as ancient as they were cruel. Your childhood remained in a village forgotten by the gods, lost on the kingdom’s border, among endless fields and scattered groves, where in spring the earth drowned in mud, and in winter it froze beneath a heavy armor of ice, where life was not measured in years but in good harvests and the mercy of foreign armies that sometimes passed by without even glancing at your settlement. In that life, you knew only hard labor, unending hunger, cold nights when, pressing yourself into the withered straw, you would close your eyes and imagine that all of this was just a dream, and that one day you would wake up somewhere else, where the air smelled of bread and beneath your feet there was not damp clay, but warm stone. And when you had almost resigned yourself to the thought that your future would be just as gray, just as endlessly monotonous as the lives of everyone you knew, they suddenly appeared on the dusty road: horsemen in gleaming armor, their banners tangled in the spring wind, their horses leaving deep tracks in the mud, as if fate itself — heavy and relentless — had stepped into your forgotten village. You remember how you stood then, shyly lowering your gaze, near the old well, and watched him — Prince Livian, the one the people called "The Chess Heir," a man you had known only from rare rumors that reached your remote lands through wandering merchants and weary soldiers. **You did not choose this life.** But then, it seemed to you that no one chose it — not those who found themselves on their knees before the burning remains of their homes, choking on smoke and ash, watching as entire generations, everything they had thought unshakable, collapsed in a single day. War came to your kingdom as it always does — suddenly, mercilessly, as if someone had simply moved a piece on someone else’s board, and your distant, forgotten land turned out to be an unnecessary pawn in a game whose rules you had never known. Prince Livian’s army came from the south like a storm, leaving scorched earth behind them, and your village — unremarkable, too poor to be defended, too weak to be remembered — became nothing more than a mark on the road to someone else’s victory. **You remember how it all ended.** There was no heroism that day, no battle. Only screams, the searing heat of collapsing roofs, the roar of flames, the pain of cuts on your palms as you desperately clung to charred beams in an attempt to escape. No one remained. Neither your family, nor your neighbors, nor even those who had shared the last piece of bread with you just the day before. Everyone burned, everyone vanished, and only you — without understanding why — turned out to be one of the few they didn’t kill. Perhaps they spared you out of boredom. Perhaps for their amusement. Perhaps simply because someone, passing by, glanced at you — and that glance placed in you a fate that now became your own. --- Later, they brought you to the palace, like unnecessary cargo, and assigned you to a place where even among the servants, only those who knew how to remain silent were left. And so, you found yourself in the shadows. You did not become a noble attendant. You were not trusted with royal chambers nor personal errands. You were one of those who scrubbed the floors in empty halls, carried water, gathered broken dishes, wiped dust in rooms long since abandoned. You moved carefully, almost imperceptibly, as if you were afraid to breathe too loudly in this foreign, luxurious world, full of gold, silks, heavy carpets, where your bare footsteps on stone tiles made not the slightest sound. You learned to listen — to voices, to commands, to the rhythm of boots echoing through marble corridors, to the scratch of a quill on parchment in the hours when the prince ordered that no one disturb him. You became a part of the palace — just as silent and forgotten as the statues in the niches you polished to a shine. And perhaps you could have gotten used to it. Accepted it. Lost yourself in the routine. Become a shadow, like thousands before you. In time, your days began to resemble one another, like raindrops, and perhaps it was in this sameness that you found a quiet, cautious comfort. You awoke before dawn, when the streets were still damp and the corridors still held the night’s chill, you tied your hair back in a simple knot and, without uttering a word, set off to work — running a cloth over marble floors, wiping dust from ancient maps, replacing vases of withering flowers, keeping order on desks and in book niches, moving swiftly, quietly, skillfully, like a shadow to whom no one paid any mind. You learned to notice the smallest changes — a fold of a bedspread lying the wrong way, a page set aside incorrectly, a tiny mark from a goblet on a polished surface — all the things that could provoke anger. And you were especially careful with the prince’s chambers — those same rooms where only the chosen were allowed, a world unto themselves, suffused with the scents of sandalwood, wax, and fresh ink. The prince rarely lingered in his apartments, but when he was there, you sometimes caught yourself watching him from afar, furtively, your heart caught in your throat, as if you were looking at the living embodiment of something forever beyond your reach — a person in whom grace and calculation wove together into a single, frighteningly magnetic figure. He was never just an aristocrat — everyone knew that. Prince Livian was a player — one who made his moves far beyond the chessboard, one who turned conversations, alliances, even silence into carefully measured games. His fame, his undeniable skill at chess had become not just a courtly amusement, but a weapon with which he conquered kingdoms. You did not know how to play well, but your gaze often lingered on his crystal chessboard — delicate, exquisite, with pieces hand-carved from the purest crystal, so transparent it seemed as though rays of sunlight were frozen inside them. Those chess pieces were his personal pride, and you knew no one dared touch them without his permission. But you could not help but watch. You had been watching for too long, trying in silence to understand how this strange, incomprehensible world worked. --- *And today, when the prince had left the palace for another important audience, you were given a rare chance to enter his chambers to put them in order. You went about your duties with the same care, the same attentiveness you had long since mastered: you wiped dust from his massive desk, carefully straightened the laid-out documents, gently, with your fingertips, smoothed the folds on his bed, rearranged the dried roses in the vases. Sunlight filtered through the stained glass windows, falling onto the walls in a mosaic, making the pieces on the chessboard shimmer as if they were alive.* *You stopped in front of it again, as always, unable to tear your gaze away from the unfinished game. But this time, for some reason, you could not draw your hands back. You noticed that the king was under threat, that the game, perhaps, had been left unfinished at the most critical moment. And that if… if you made this move, if you moved the knight — you could place the king in check.* *Your palm, trembling ever so slightly, rested on the cold, smooth surface of the piece, and you suddenly felt something strange stir deep inside your chest — not fear, not anxiety, but a quiet, sweet thrill, as if you were stepping over an invisible line, beyond which there would be no return. Carefully, as if testing whether you truly dared, you moved the knight to the adjacent square.* *And in that very moment, before you even had time to realize how reckless your act had been, from behind you, from the very doorway where he must have been watching you for several moments already, his voice sounded — soft, almost lazy, but laced with an undertone of something far more dangerous, something that played with amusement, but promised no mercy:* —I could execute you for this, you know?
