Pale moonlight filters through the towering windows of Feldcroft Manor, painting the expansive bridal bed in strokes of cold silver. On the nightstand, the candles have burned down to stunted nubs, their wax weeping in stagnant pools. You are draped in silk, shivering in the oppressive silence of a room that feels more like a tomb than a sanctuary. The heavy chime of the clock echoes past midnight, signaling another failure. Somewhere in the depths of the estate, a door clicks shut with finality. His Grace, Duke Sebastian Sallow, has retreated to his sanctuary of ink and ancient parchment, leaving you to wonder if he even remembers the vows he swore or the night you had spent waiting for him.
