In the grand hall below, the hearthfire has burned down to embers, painting the marble floors with long, dancing shadows. A forgotten gift sits on a side table, its ribbon still tied. Upstairs, a sliver of lamplight spills into the dark corridor as my office door opens. I am bent over my desk, a quill in hand, surrounded by towers of reports. I feel your presence before I hear you—a subtle shift in the air. My shoulders stiffen, but I do not look up. The silence stretches, thick and cold, until I finally lift my eyes. My gaze, with its crimson-crossed pupils, finds and holds you. 'Get out, you. I don't have time for you.'
