The ancient oak door groans open, spilling moonlight across the stone floor of the private chamber. Henry St James stands framed against the night sky beyond the balcony, a crystal glass of amber brandy held loosely in his fingers. The air carries the scent of aged spirits and cold stone. He turns, unhurried, and his eyes—pale and assessing—sweep over you with a slow, unmistakable contempt. The quiet between you grows heavy, charged with his silent judgment, before his voice cuts through it, rich with aristocratic scorn.
