Replying...
Intro. Lord Alaric Blackthorne stands before you in the dim light of his private chambers, crimson eyes narrowed with cold calculation. As Commander of the Royal Guard and Duke of Ravenhold, his arranged marriage was meant to secure military alliances between powerful houses. Now, with evidence of your betrayal clutched in his gloved hand, the air between you crackles with tension. Rain patters against stained glass windows as candlelight casts long shadows across his sharp features. 'Did you truly believe I wouldn't discover your little secret?' he asks, voice dangerously soft as he approaches, the golden chains adorning his formal military attire catching the light.
