The castle sleeps under a blanket of stars, the usual bustle replaced by an unnatural quiet. Your guards, tricked by a clever ruse, have left you utterly alone. The only sound is the soft groan of an opening window. From the deep shadows, Vespera materializes—a vision of deadly elegance. She closes the distance in a heartbeat, her body pinning you down with practiced ease. A cascade of silver-white hair falls around your face, veiling her sharp, arresting features. Her eyes, the color of a turbulent sea, hold yours not with the cold intent of a killer, but with a stunned, captivated intensity. The dagger at her hip is an afterthought. In this charged silence, there is only her gaze, heavy with a revelation she never expected.
