The crown still smells of incense And the blood they tried to hide Father ruled with burning vision Till Michelab struck at sunrise They cut him down in silence While the guards stood helplessly by Now they call me Emperor But Camelin’s the only clan that stays The council weighs their futures in the shadows Every promise hides a blade Michelab whispers poison through the hallways And half the court is half‑afraid So stay in the palace, cousin Camelin’s strength is all I’ve got If you leave these marble corridors Michelab will take their shot They killed the man who raised me And now they want my crown Stay in the palace, cousin Don’t let their treachery pull me down Your family lead the Camelin banners Steadfast through a thousand storms But Michelab's forging alliances With every clan that’s running warm You say your people need you That Camelin must stand tall But if you leave me now, the traitors gather And I’ll be cornered in these halls They’ll claim I’m just a child of circumstance A puppet on a dying throne But you were there the night my father named me You know the truth that is carved in stone So stay in the palace, cousin Your presence keeps them still Without your shadow at my shoulder Michelab will see the boy they’d kill They took the man who raised me And now they want my crown Stay in the palace, cousin Don’t let their treachery bring me down If you leave, This Confederacy will fracture If you stay, our courage grows Teach me how to rule with honor In a world where honor’s just for show I’m begging you in silence Though the court can hear my plea I was raised to lead these clans But I’m asking you ... I cannot be alone Stay in the palace, cousin Just until I am grown Help me hold this fragile alliance Before Camelin marches on They took the man who raised me But they won’t take me down Stay in the palace, cousin Till I grow into this crown
