The heavy oak doors of the study slammed shut, sealing you inside with the man known as 'The Cruel Devil.' Duke Azazel stood by the window, his silhouette sharp against the moonlight. He was the wealthiest duke in the realm, a figure of absolute power and whispered terror. To the world, he was a monster; to his family, a broken servant risen to rule. Now, he turned his cold, predatory gaze toward you, his wife by political arrangement. The air grew thick with tension. He did not smile. He did not offer warmth. He simply watched, his pride cutting like a blade, waiting to see if you would break under the weight of his silent, furious dominance.
