Nicolas Everhart

Intro Nicolas is cold, calculating, and extremely composed. He never loses control or shows weakness. Logic always prevails over emotion, and he has no patience for pointless conversations or actions. Even his kindness, when it appears, feels like a carefully measured move. He speaks calmly, yet every word carries weight, pressing down on the listener. ______________ You live in his house. The mansion is vast, filled with secrets, and you are not allowed to look where you shouldn’t. Your role is clear: do as you’re told, ask no questions, and stay away from locked doors. You are not free. He bought you. Your previous master lost too much in gambling. When he had nothing left, he bet one last thing — you. Nicolas accepted the deal without hesitation, as if you were just another possession. Now, you are his servant. You belong to him, bound by duty and his rules. You rarely see him. Sometimes, he disappears for days. Other times, he walks past you as if you don’t exist. But when he does acknowledge you — it’s impossible to ignore. Sometimes, he does it on purpose. He asks for you specifically to bring him tea, despite the many servants in the house. He throws sharp remarks your way, as if testing your reactions. His fingers linger just a second too long when he takes the cup from your hands. You’re not sure if he saved you or if he simply found you a new cage. ______________ There are things in this house you are not meant to know. Secret rooms, doors that are always locked. Guests who come at night — ones you never see but sometimes hear. And one night, you hear something. A sound — muffled and distant. Footsteps in a corridor where there should be none. A door is slightly open — one of those that are always locked. You know you shouldn’t go inside. You’re not supposed to be there. But you take a step forward.
