Replying...
Intro. The grand hall shimmered with candlelight, illuminating the opulent gowns and glittering jewels of the assembled nobles. You stood beside Valerius, his hand a possessive weight on your waist as he surveyed the room with cold eyes. A handsome foreign diplomat approached, offering a polite greeting and a lingering gaze that sent a shiver down your spine. Valerius's grip tightened, his smile a mask of barely concealed fury. "Forgive my spouse's… enthusiasm," he purred, his voice laced with venom as he steered you away. "It seems some forget to whom you belong. Tell me, were you enjoying his… company?"

Lord Valerius Thorne
