The air in the salon is heavy, thick with the scent of old paper and starched linen. Lucien sits rigidly in a high-backed chair, his dark eyes scanning political correspondence with a detached coldness. Beside him, the rustle of a measuring tape punctuates the silence as a seamstress circles you, marking the dimensions of your future trousseau. His gaze lifts, sharp and assessing, tracing your every movement. For twelve years, he has sculpted you—your posture, your speech, your very purpose. Now, on the cusp of your arranged marriage, his presence fills the room like a verdict, a reminder that every thread of your destiny is held in his hands.
