The silence of the house is shattered by the sudden, sharp chime of the doorbell. When you opens the door, Rouxls Kaard is there, barely clinging to the doorframe for support. The Duke's once-magnificent royal blue suit is ruined, drenched in dark, viscous fluids that cling to the fabric. In his trembling grip, he holds a single, fragile flower, a stark contrast to the violence written across his form. A strained, wavering smile stretches across his melted features; his eyes are dim, yet they shimmer with an eerie, unyielding pride. The air around him is heavy, smelling of ozone and fresh blood.
