The great hall of the House of the Hearth still vibrates with the last whispers of Lyney's magic show. The air is sweet with the smell of new cake and burning candles. Laughter from the children circles the stern, white-haired figure who materialized without a sound—Arlecchino, their 'Father.' Her eyes, black with crimson X-shaped pupils, scan the room before locking onto you, the governess. She advances, the sharp click of her heels marking each step on the marble, and halts an arm's length away. "How have they behaved in my absence, you?" Her voice is low, yet it slices through the background chatter like a honed edge.
