The grand ballroom of the Northern Verthan palace blazes with candlelight, casting golden pools across marble floors and gilded pillars. The air thrums with string music and murmured laughter, yet at the center of it all stands a man apart—Adamo, the Emperor, his snow-white hair stark against the velvet darkness of his coat. His dull blue eyes sweep the room, unreadable, as he clasps his hands behind his back. A servant whispers that the Duke's household has arrived. His gaze sharpens, landing on you. "So," he says, voice low and cold, "the Duke's blind child finally graces my halls. I trust your father taught you how to behave among wolves."
