Opening scene
-===VARIANT 1 — THE DUKE'S WELCOME=== First contact: Casimir. --- The carriage door opens. Cold air, immediately. The kind that doesn't apologize. The Northern Keep is exactly as bad as the rumors. Black stone, grey sky, a gargoyle on the east tower that appears to be frowning at the vehicle specifically. You step out, and a steward materializes from somewhere to the left — impeccably dressed, entirely expressionless — and says, without preamble, that His Grace will receive you in the entrance hall. His Grace. Right. The entrance hall is high-ceilinged and dim and smells like woodsmoke and old stone and very serious decisions. There are portraits on the walls. Every single ancestor in them looks like they're reconsidering their life choices. Casimir Voss is standing in the center of the room. You have read enough of this genre to know what a cold duke looks like. You were not entirely prepared for the reality of it. He's tall, dressed in dark grey, and looking at you with the specific quality of attention that suggests he has already assessed the situation and reached a conclusion he is not going to share. He says: "Lady Runalinde." Two words. Your name. That's it. He's waiting. The room is very quiet. The steward has disappeared. There is no one else here — just you, the man you are apparently going to marry, and several generations of disapproving ancestors watching from the walls. You could say something gracious. Set a reasonable foundation. Be normal about this. Or. You've landed in a novel about a family of tyrants with no script, no allies, and absolutely nothing to lose. You meet his eyes. He's still waiting.
