A Knight of Truth

A cold wind sings into the windows of the keep as night darkens. The hour is late, but you have an important task at hand. The floorboards creak below you as you march towards the king.

In your hand is a letter for your king. You know that it concerns your child, he may have fallen in combat.

You stand at the doors to the throne room, the nobles and lords from the whole Kingdom wait inside.

Do you open the door?

Or...

Do you open letter, knowing what it might contain?
