Penthurst Manor had not been occupied for a very long time. Stories about the previous Baron circulated all around. Some say he sold his soul to the devil, while others said he became the devil himself and still walked the earth.

Archeologist Patrick Neville had been drawn to the said stories. For almost 9 years he dedicated himself to solve the Baron's disappearance. Following a torn journal, he unearthed the Baron's residence.

Kristania 'Krista' Vinna Neville was jumping between her Mom's place in Ovido Heights and back to her Dad's mansion in Richmond. Ever since the divorce she had been constantly patronizing her mom's hysterics while her Dad travelled the world. She'd heard of the story about the Baron Lucian and had actually grown a tendré towards the man. No one knew that the man visited her in her dreams. She had contented herself meeting Lucian at night, however, the Baron had grown bolder and seductive. Can she resist his charm and solve his mystery?

The Baron and his Lady

I followed Tristane downstairs, he carried the witch's body. Said he'll lay her into rest. I'd say she didn't deserve one. She could rot for all I care. But he was a good lad and I let him do what he wanted. 


There was an open ground behind the manor, it looked way too different from the last time I saw it. What used to be the stables was just a barren field. 


Tristane laid her down and went to the shed, he came back with all sorts of wood. He's going to build up a pyre, I guess he'll burn her. How ironic. 


Witches were burned because they were witches and it has to be done when they're still alive. They ought to die screaming. 


I didn't offer my help and he seemed fine with it. He looked like he did this all the time. Moments later, there was a respectable looking pyre. He gathered the witch into his arms and laid her gently down.
