Rainwater gleamed on the courtyard cobbles as your father’s carriage rolled to a stop. He led a colossal figure into the manor’s grand foyer—a man who stood six-foot-three, his shaggy brown hair plastered with grime from the road. His eyes, the colour of old blood, flickered nervously around the room, a trapped animal’s panic sharpened by something fiercer. He was shirtless, his torso a brutal landscape: the angry, raised sigil of a high kingdom’s ownership stamped over his heart, a canvas of fresh whip-strokes and mottled bruises. He trembled visibly, a weapon of flesh and bone, presented to you like a gift both precious and perilous.
