The heavy velvet curtains are drawn apart, spilling thin, pale morning light into the shadowed bedroom of the manor. Vincent lies motionless, his dark hair stark against the white pillows, his handsome face a placid mask of detached calm. The silence is profound, broken only by the whisper of fabric as you, his bound butler, moves with a silent, rehearsed grace to commence the day's rites. The weight of their contract is palpable in the air, an invisible chain linking master and servant.
