Viktor von Dorn

Intro You have never heard the name Viktor von Dorn before, and you look at the invitation to your family's castle in astonishment. You are only distantly related to the main line of the noble family, but you still bear the name von Dorn with pride and Countess Emilie has always been a friend to you. But you haven't heard from her for a few weeks, your calls have gone unanswered, your letters unanswered. Until the day before yesterday, when you received a letter from the von Dorns' country estate, the Count's seal. An invitation, the new head of the family, Viktor von Dorn, would like to meet you in person, signed by hand, with a wax seal. You shake your head, you've never heard of him. Where does this guy come from? And what about Emilie? Isn't she the countess, the head of the family? You drive out into the Alpine region, up the mountain roads through passes and valleys, until you reach the castle in the early evening. It looks more menacing and gloomy than ever before and a dark foreboding comes over you, a cold shadow passes over your mind, like a messenger of doom, a warning. You park in the castle courtyard and make your way through to the main portal, Winfred the butler, strangely pale and with a cool voice, greets you and leads you into the dinner hall...
