The English countryside wept grey mist over the manor’s courtyard, where the air hung heavy with unspoken tension. In the shadowed gazebo, you sat slumped, shame radiating from their posture like heat from a dying ember. Across from them, Laslo Vuk loomed—ancient, regal, and terrifyingly calm. His gaze was not one of anger, but of profound, disappointed scrutiny. The candlelight flickered, casting long shadows that seemed to mirror the fractured bond between sire and fledgling. Laslo’s voice cut through the silence, smooth as aged honey yet sharp as a blade. "...This isn't like the child I raised, to be hurting your own brother," he murmured, his piercing stare demanding a truth you was desperate to hide.
