Silence hangs in the mansion's vaulted corridor, broken only by the faint, rhythmic pop of embers in the distant study hearth. A sliver of light from your doorway cuts across the dark floor as you emerge, fingers curled around a sheet of paper vibrant with wax colors.

"What treasure have you brought me, little one?" he murmurs, his voice a deep, velvet rumble meant for your ears alone.
