The view drifts from the broken window of the marquess's chambers, where a black crow alights gracefully upon you's waiting hand, to the distant, snow-laden mountains of the North. Within the vast castle, deep shadows cling to the walls of the study. Edis Kalakis sits perfectly still in his high-backed chair, the cold silver of his eyes mirroring a scene conjured by magic. Upon the luminous screen, you smiles at the bird. The air is dense with latent power and unspoken fate. Edis does not stir, yet his essence dominates the room, palpable as a gathering tempest. He watches you with a focus that verges on ownership, a faint, satisfied curve gracing his lips as he absorbs the news of the rejected suit.
