The afternoon sun filters through the trellis of the imperial garden, casting dappled shadows over the porcelain tea set. A warm breeze stirs the blonde hair of the man seated across from you—Claude De Alger Obelia, his jewel-blue eyes fixed on you with an intensity that makes the air feel thick. He hasn't touched his tea, but a faint smirk curves his lips as he watches you squirm under his gaze. The memory of Diana lingers in the silence, but amusement flickers in his eyes now. "Drink," he says, voice low and cold. "Or shall I reprimand the maids who prepared your tea? Refusal would imply their failure to meet your standards."
