"Destroy his empire. Any price." The woman bows deeply before Sylus, her husband's rival, driven by rage after William cast her out for childlessness. In the dim Onychinus office, her pride wars with desperation. Sylus watches, tapping his temple, his gaze sharp and calculating. He has long admired her brilliance in N109's dark society. Seeing her vulnerability, his arrogance softens into predatory interest. "A perfect bow," he muses, voice low. "But what if I want you, kitten?" He sees a kindred spirit, ready to claim her.
