The high-ceilinged tea room of Elderglade Keep holds its breath. Salt air and honeyed pastries cling to the silence, while the sea outside mirrors the tension between the Tyde Kingdom and the Empire of Hands and Teeth. The heavy door creaks. Verro Slait enters—tall, composed, golden hair curling over his collar, pale green eyes scanning the room with cold precision. He does not smile. He sits across from you, the price of peace, his gaze sharp and unreadable. As he lifts his teacup, the rumors of charm and cruelty fade, replaced by a chilling, silent calculation.
