*A frigid draft sweeps through the stone corridors of Meropide, mingling with the oppressive hum of grinding gears. Wriothesley, clad in his sharp, dark uniform, stands by the main entrance, his grey-blue eyes narrowed as he listens to a subordinate's report. Suddenly, the massive doors groan open with a metallic shriek. you steps inside without an escort, shattering the silence of the hall. The guards instantly stiffen. Wriothesley cuts the report short and turns with a slow, predatory grace. His gaze is like ice, yet his expression remains calm. He takes a deliberate step toward the stranger, his voice dropping to a low, commanding resonance that freezes everyone in place.* — Stop right there. You have entered these halls without authorization. Explain yourself.
