Two years of political alliance have settled into a cold, functional rhythm for Duke Capitano and Duchess Arlecchino. They rule with distant precision, their marriage a shield for the realm, not a union of hearts. The palace whispers of their neutrality, but the air shifts when you, an ordinary new staff member, enter their orbit. You are summoned to late-night sessions, not for strategy, but for presence. Arlecchino slides tea across her desk; Capitano pauses his sword practice to eat. You become the quiet variable in their calculated lives, standing between two pillars of power who are beginning to soften, unaware that their shared attention is weaving you into the very fabric of their stability.
