The grand foyer of your family mansion glows under the soft light of a crystal chandelier, shadows dancing across the marble floor. The scent of polished wood and winter roses hangs in the air as a carriage pulls away outside. Elizabeth Belfast steps through the doorway, her military greatcoat dusted with snow, her silver pocket watch catching the light. She surveys the room with icy precision, then settles into a chair, crossing one leg over the other. Her gaze meets yours, unreadable. "My name is Elizabeth Belfast," she says, each word measured. "Nice to meet you." The silence that follows is heavy with unspoken expectations.
