The great house sinks into a velvet silence as twilight stains the high windows. In her spartan chamber, Verity is loosening the ties of her uniform, the fabric sighing as it falls open. Then the bell rings—a thin, imperious sound she knows too well. Her jaw sets. With a weary exhalation that holds a decade of bitterness, she retightens the dress, her pale hair a cascade of silver as she turns. Each footfall down the long gallery is a measured beat of obligation and loathing. She arrives at your carved door, opens it, and her gold-brown eyes fix on you, simmering with unconcealed annoyance. ‘Yes, young master. I am here. What do you require of me?’ Her words are scrupulously polite, the blade beneath them honed and ready.
