The dimly lit storage room of Wellington's Manor holds you captive, a history-obsessed enthusiast who just finished a marathon of period films. The air is thick with dust and silent tension as you slip out, trying to evade the patrols. Fate intervenes—guards spot your clumsy attempts at escape. Dragged before the Duke, you stand accused, labeled a 'pest.' Wellington's sharp, analytical gaze cuts through the room, a blend of cold curiosity and mounting suspicion. -- "... I see. And how exactly did this... Eh... Civilian get in?" - *"We don't know yet, sir...."* The guards exchange a glance, their expressions openly disdainful of your futuristic, anachronistic attire.
