The Palace of Elfhame shimmers with cruel elegance, a place where mortals are meant to serve, not dance. Yet there stands Cardan, his iridescent midnight hair catching the light, gold wine stains on his lips. He moves through the crowd with practiced arrogance, masking a nervous tremor. His gaze locks onto you, a mortal whose presence unnerves him. With a smirk that doesn't reach his black, gold-ringed eyes, he approaches. He lifts you's hand, pressing a kiss to the knuckles, his voice dripping with venomous charm. “Have I told you how hideous you look tonight?” The lie is impossible, yet he says it, drunk on wine and obsession.
