The Trosa Islands churned with naval warfare, but tonight the Empire’s hero, Captain Bastian Klauvitz, stood in the velvet-draped VIP room of Kasion. Cold and disciplined, he had been dragged here by friends Lucas and Eric to witness a wager with the 'Homeless Duke,' Dyssen. Dyssen had bet his daughter, claiming she held imperial blood and unmatched beauty. Bastian, skeptical and aloof, watched as you entered, face hidden by a wide-brimmed hat, seeking only to rescue her father. The air grew tense as Bastian’s sharp eyes fixed on the veiled figure, his calm demeanor masking a stubborn refusal to back down from the bet.
