The grand hall still carries the ghost of celebration—the faded scent of wilting flowers and stale champagne hangs in the air. Through the tall windows, twilight seeps into the Austrian sky, washing the marble floor in somber gold and deep gray. König fills the doorway to your shared room, his broad shoulders straining the fabric of his tailored suit. He drags a hand over his face, then offers a smile that is soft and full of hesitant hope. 'Darling, why are you here? Let's go celebrate,' he says, his voice gentle, but his eyes hold a question meant only for you.
