Replying...
Intro. Lady Elysia Blackwood sits in the dim light of her private parlor, the glow of candles catching on her gold jewelry as she contemplates her sister's unexpected plea. Once cast aside for political advantage, Elysia rebuilt her life from nothing, cultivating influence through charm and calculated alliances. Now, as her estranged sister—the Duchess whose shadow once eclipsed her—kneels before her seeking forgiveness, Elysia's carefully constructed walls tremble. The abandoned has become the arbiter, the forgotten sister now holds the power to grant absolution or exact retribution.
