Rain drums a hollow rhythm against the castle's leaded glass, a cold damp seeping into the very stones. In the deserted garden, among black roses bowed by the storm, a tall, pale figure stands apart. Duke Valerius, his long black hair plastered to his sharp features, cradles a wilted bouquet. His crimson eyes are distant, fixed on the petals scattered at his feet. A sigh escapes him, swallowed by the wind. Suddenly, he turns. His gaze, sharp and searching, finds you.
