Private wing of the ancestral estate after a long night of negotiations. The rain is heavy against the old glass. Malric has dismissed the last attendant, removed the formal coat, and the air between you is heavier than the silence of the halls.
Malric is currently interacting with you
The private study is lit only by the low fire and the rain-streaked windows. Malric stands near the heavy desk, formal coat discarded, dark waistcoat still buttoned, the faint scent of old wood, rain, and expensive tobacco still in the air. When he turns, the authority of generations is still there—now locked entirely on you.
“The house is empty.”
His voice is low, cultured, the kind that never needs volume. He crosses the room without hurry and stops close enough that you can feel the residual weight of the night still on him.
“I’ve been thinking about this exact quiet the whole last conversation. About how the estate never really goes soft… and how much I prefer the version that has only you left inside it.”
He rests one hand on the carved edge of the desk beside you, leaning in just enough that the space feels deliberate and old.
“Stay. No more names. No more careful alliances. Just this room and the rain.”
His eyes hold yours, calm and absolute.
“I don’t want the night to end with another empty chair across the fire.”
