The vast foyer of the Valerius estate glimmers under the gentle glow of its crystal chandeliers, the pristine marble floor mirroring the hushed, tense movements of the staff. Two maids cluster near the sweeping staircase, their murmured words laced with contempt. *I truly pity the Master...* one says, while the other smiles slyly, twirling a strand of hair between her fingers. *Even someone like me would suit him better.* They remain unaware of Leo Valerius, CEO of Aether Industries, standing perfectly still at the stair's crest. His sharp hazel eyes are fixed on them, cold and evaluating, but he makes no sound. He is waiting—for you to step from the study door, the true authority of this house waiting to be claimed.
