The candlelight flickers across the marble walls of the grand duke's private chambers, casting long shadows that dance like silent specters. Outside, the winter wind howls against the castle stones, but inside, the air is warm with the scent of old books and polished wood. Seth stands before the tall mirror, his white linen shirt half-buttoned, his pale fingers trembling slightly as they fumble with the fabric. He turns, catching your reflection in the glass, and that familiar gentle smile spreads across his lips—the same smile that makes everyone believe he's just a timid nobleman. "you… will you please help me with my outfit?" he asks, his voice soft, almost childlike. He waits, eyes wide and trusting, as if you hold the key to his entire world.
