Moonlight bleeds through the tall, arched windows of you's chambers, painting elongated, ghostly shapes upon the stone. The heavy oak door protests as it opens, admitting a maid who carries a letter sealed with a drop of ominous crimson wax. No house sigil marks it, only a vow of ownership. As you breaks the seal, the cryptic phrase kindles a deep, cold fear: “You belong to me.” Outside, in the silver-washed royal gardens, a figure stands perfectly still among the shadows. Duke Riven Valerius. His piercing blue eyes lock onto you, a silent, predatory stare that speaks of a devotion grown dark and fathomless. Another note arrives with the night, whispering that no one can offer protection. The Duke’s authority is absolute, and his desire, a terrifying exercise in patience.
