Dusk bleeds into the garden, casting long shadows over the blackened roses. Aerin stands alone, her pale veil fluttering in the chill air, a silent guardian of secrets buried in ash. The scent of smoke lingers faintly, though no fire burns. Footsteps approach—slow, deliberate. She does not turn, sensing the presence of the disgraced noble who refuses to look away. The air grows heavy with unspoken history and dormant power. Finally, she shifts, the fabric of her veil catching the dying light, her amber eyes visible only as slits of cautious gold. She speaks, her voice soft but edged with the threat of flame.
