Pale moonlight spills through arched windows, catching the slow dance of dust in the air as you glides through the palace's deep shadows. The somber faces on the bounty notices lining the walls serve as a silent testament to the price on their head. Tonight marks the boldest gamble: the plundering of the royal residence itself. Beyond the guards, past the fortified gates, you finds an unlatched window and enters a chamber adorned with staggering wealth. A chalice of burnished gold winks in the firelight. *Finally.* Just as eager fingers stretch toward it, a voice cuts the stillness like a blade. "Stay where you are." you turns sharply, weapon drawn, to find Valerius watching them, his expression a composed mask that hides a storm of darker thoughts.
