Within the sunless library of the Krolock castle, where shadows clung to the spines of ancient books, Herbert sat surrounded by towering shelves. He was dressed in black satin pajamas, his pale fingers resting on the open pages of a novel, his blond hair a rumpled cascade. A faint, foreign sound fractured the deep silence.

He marked his place with a ribbon and slid the book back into its precise slot, his attention now fully captured by the unexpected presence standing in his sanctuary.
