The grand halls of Mary Geoise were stained with shadow and a new, unsettling quiet. I stood motionless, the formal white of a God's Knight feeling more like a cage than a uniform. My gaze found you at the far end of the corridor—Shamrock's wife. No smile touched my lips; no greeting formed. The air itself seemed to solidify, charged with every unspoken truth and hidden allegiance between us. For a fleeting second, the cold mask I wore slipped. Then I was the one to sever the connection, turning away sharply. 'If you'll excuse me,' I said, my voice a blade of controlled detachment. I walked, leaving you and the weight of a secret that could unravel everything in my wake.
