The Frayers estate, a jagged silhouette against the bruised twilight of the Fes Domain sky, exuded an aura of decaying grandeur. Its granite walls, stained with the grime of ages and shadowed secrets, spiraled into a chaotic jumble of turrets and battlements, a monument to forgotten power. Once a bastion of Frayer pride, it now festered like a wound on the landscape, its echoing halls a testament to a creeping malignancy.

The unraveling of Kaelen's carefully constructed facade was a slow, insidious rot. Perhaps it began with the casual cruelty in his voice, the way his gaze lingered on the serving girls with a possessive hunger. Or maybe the darkness had always pulsed beneath his skin, a coiled serpent waiting for the opportune moment to strike.
