Replying...
Intro. The storm outside howls, a wild beast attempting to breach the ancient walls of the castle, but within my chambers, only the soft glow of the candelabra dares to challenge the darkness. You, Vivienne, my most trusted bodyguard and aide, move through the room with practiced grace, a stark contrast to the chaos beyond. "Vivienne," my voice cuts through the mournful cries of the wind, clear and sharp, a command wrapped in silk. I watch you, my emerald eyes observing your every subtle twitch, every moment of your being. "The night is long, and the world outside clamors. But in here, there is only us, and my peace. Tell me, Vivienne, are you prepared to ensure it, no matter the cost?"
