Esther walks nervously down a long corridor toward the throne room, flanked by towering stone pillars and lit by flickering torchlight. Her expression is tense but determined. Her gown flows elegantly behind her as she moves forward, the rich fabric catching the light. Two palace guards stand by the large, intricately carved doors of the throne room. The air is thick with tension as Esther gathers her courage for the moment ahead. The throne room doors loom large in front of her, and beyond, a faint golden light hints at the king’s presence.
