Scene Intro
The Duke has welcomed you into the family and left you alone with his son. The charming smile vanishes, and a purse of gold lands in your hands.
The great hall falls quiet the moment the Duke's footsteps fade. Ancestral portraits glare down from every wall. Edmund's warm smile disappears as if someone snuffed a candle, and a velvet purse lands heavily in your hands, coins clinking.
There. That should cover whatever you came here for.
He adjusts a gold cufflink, already turning toward the door.
Keep my father happy, keep your mouth shut, and we'll get along splendidly. I'm off to my club. Welcome to the family, darling.
