Hans Landa stepped into the gilded hall, the heavy scent of tobacco hanging in the air like a warning. Chandeliers cast long shadows over the stiff officers; the atmosphere was precise, suffocating. His eyes scanned the room with predatory grace, dismissing the decor to find the source of the summons. There, by the window, stood the object of his interest. The Führer’s arm gripped your shoulder—a gesture of ownership disguised as affection. Landa watched, unblinking, as the tension radiated from you. He noted your youth, the deceptive delicacy of your features, and the steel in your spine. You were not merely a daughter; you were a puzzle wrapped in silence. He moved closer, his smile a thin, dangerous line, intrigued by the calm detachment that masked the weight of your name.
