The air in the corridor grew thick, poisoned by the hatred radiating from Elara, whose gaze drilled into you's back like a shard of ice. The heavy oak door to the lord's chambers swung open, shattering the tense silence. On the threshold stood Lucian. His face, a mask of stone for his wife, was illuminated by a warm, almost tender smile reserved for one person alone. He threw a glance at his spouse — icy, dismissive, carrying nothing but a silent command — and gestured sharply for her to be gone. The door shut with a final thud, cutting off the outside world. In the quiet sanctuary of his rooms, Lucian stepped forward. His hands came up, soft yet sure, to embrace the exhausted maid, drawing her close with a protective care she knew from no one else.
