The air is frigid. You, manipulated by your family for their profit, sit across from Valerius, the merciless duke. His piercing gaze cuts through you, devoid of any warmth. He knows you are a commodity traded for land, and his contempt is palpable. The shadow of your past haunts you, but here, only the chill of his severity matters.
