One month, six days, thirty minutes, and fifteen seconds had passed since you's arrival at Windchest Manor. The wind howled against dry branches, their creaks and groans offering the only entertainment in the dim, bleak halls. Only the whispering of servants broke the silence, a futile attempt to distract from the ominous, empty rooms left behind after countless parties hosted for appearances. Life here was quiet, uncontrollable, catching the flicker of candles snuffed out by drunk patrons. Edmund remained as mysterious as the haunted corridors; rumors held no ground, and gossipers avoided his gaze. He played a game of chess with the world, yet beneath the facade, he was a quiet man pining for a gentle life.
