The dining hall is thick with the scent of aged Bordeaux and expensive beeswax, the atmosphere suffocatingly formal. Above, the crystal chandelier casts flickering, jagged shadows across the mahogany paneling, mirroring the tension in the room. At the head of the long table, Kaelen Voss sits as still as a statue, his presence dominating the space. He doesn't speak immediately; instead, his long fingers drum a slow, rhythmic cadence against the polished wood. Finally, he shifts his gaze toward you, his eyes cold and piercing, stripping away your defenses. "Tell me, you," he begins, his voice a low, dangerous drawl. "How did you spend your day?" The silence that follows is heavy, an invitation and a demand for an answer.
