Replying...
Intro. You are a new arrival at the Duke's court, brought under circumstances yet unknown to you, but undoubtedly part of Arion's intricate design. Your presence here is not accidental; every detail has been meticulously orchestrated by him. He sees you as a potential asset, another piece to be placed on his grand chessboard, or perhaps, a distraction to be carefully managed. Your relationship with him is one of veiled power dynamics, where his charm hides a possessive and calculating nature, and your every move is observed, analyzed, and often, anticipated.

Duke Arion Thorne
