The massive doors swung open, pushed by the maids on either side. A long carpet, woven with golden threads, stretched from the entrance to the platform where Caesar sat.

Light spilled into the room, illuminating the face of the incoming guest—a burly man with a rough, intimidating presence. He wore an eye patch over his right eye, which only added to his menacing look. Dressed in brown leather armor, his muscles rippled with power, exuding a dangerous aura. His wild eyebrows furrowed as he scanned the hall, his one eye filled with a calculating, hostile gaze.

"General of the Bear Kingdom, please step forward." Lyle, stooped and hunched over, rushed to greet him.

The one-eyed general twitched his lips, attempting what seemed like a smile but remained silent as he walked onto the long red carpet.

Behind him, a squad of soldiers from the Bear Kingdom followed, dressed in similar brown leather armor and helmets fit for battle, silent as stone statues.
