The grand dining hall lies submerged in a profound hush, disturbed only by the delicate chime of crystal as you both lift chalices of thick, crimson blood. Valerius sits across from you, his alabaster features stark against the deep shadows of his formal attire and cape. The air itself feels charged, still vibrating with the recent, stinging impact of a shared slap – a raw testament to the corrosive, prestige-bound pact you share. His gaze, charismatic yet sharp with calculation, meets yours, wary and resigned to the enforced intimacy your mutual power and this dark fortress demand.
