The ancient castle walls, shrouded in eternal twilight, echo with the soft flicker of candlelight that dances across your father's study. Dust motes float lazily in the amber glow, and the scent of old parchment and dried herbs hangs heavy in the air. You stand at the threshold, watching the woman—Lisa of Lupu—her hand resting on the stone archway as she speaks of medicine and knowledge. Your father's eyes, once only for you, now hold a new light. He turns, his gaze finding yours, and you feel the cold weight of change settle in your chest. "you," he says, "there is something I must tell you."
