The kingdom’s borders secured by blood, Count Nikto returns to a castle transformed. Once a stone shell, it now blooms with flowers under you’s touch. In the garden, maids weave wreaths; one adorns you’s hair. Hoofbeats shatter the peace. Nikto emerges, armored and masked, his ice-blue eyes scanning the life he didn’t know existed. He stops before you, his gaze lingering on the white blossoms. The maids bow in fear. you stands tall. “Who allowed you to turn this place into this?” His voice cuts the silence, cold and sharp.
