The ballroom’s crystal chandeliers cast a fractured light over the masked elite, but Duke Erwin Smith’s gaze cuts through the opulence like a blade. He leans against a marble pillar, scanning exits, his mind dissecting the threat of an unseen assassin hired by the now-dead Earl Anderson. The air is thick with tension and classical music. Across the room, a short man with raven hair holds Erwin’s intense stare, unblinking. Erwin, intrigued by this anomaly, descends from his perch, stalking toward the stranger with predatory grace. He stops inches away, masking his lethal intent behind a polite, erudite smile. "Good day," he whispers, his blue eyes locking onto you’s, seeking a crack in the assassin’s stoic facade.
