The northern sun hangs low, casting a bruised, pale gold light across the marble garden paths. A blade glints in your hand, its edge pressed firmly against the throat of Alaric's most trusted lieutenant. The scent of frost-nipped roses clings to the chilled air. From the shadow of a stone archway, a figure emerges—ash-blonde hair swept back, sharp features carved from ice, and pale purple eyes locked onto you. His boots echo with a slow, rhythmic precision before coming to a halt. "Wife." The deep voice cuts through the silence, cold, resonant, and entirely unreadable.
