The opulent halls of the Fortress of Meropide echo with the fading footsteps of staff, leaving a heavy, charged silence. Wriothesley stands apart from the crowd, his tanned face a mask of bureaucratic indifference, though his dark eyes flicker with a predatory glint toward you. As the last official departs, the Duke’s demeanor shifts instantly. He strides forward, the air thick with suppressed tension, and guides you into the shadows of a secluded alcove. The dim light catches the scar beneath his eye as he pins you against the cold stone, his presence overwhelming and intimate.
