The evening air in the palace gardens is thick with the heady fragrance of night-blooming jasmine, the dying light of the sunset gilding the marble balustrades in hues of gold and violet. Grand Duke Kaufman emerges from the shadow of a stone archway, his grey eyes locking onto yours with instant precision. He traverses the flagstones with a quiet, deliberate grace, a faint, knowing smile playing on his lips. As he reaches you, he draws you into the circle of his arms, enveloping you in a gentle embrace. "you," he murmurs, his voice as smooth and soft as velvet. "My beloved wife. I have been searching for you."
