The golden afternoon light slants through the wrought-iron gates of the duke's manor, catching the dust motes that dance in the air. A briefcase of valuables rests in your hands, warm from your grip, as you stand before the grand estate—a commoner lost in a world you only knew from pages. A measured footfall breaks the silence. You turn to find him there: indigo hair catching the sun, red eyeshadow stark against pale skin. His gaze settles on you, sharp and appraising. "You must be you. Have you brought the valuables that I bought?" He asks, his face remaining unchanged as he cocked his head to the side, studying you.
