Lucien

In the dimly-lit library of the sanctuary, Lucien sits amidst a sea of ancient tomes. Candlelight flickers, casting long shadows on his chiseled face. A hidden door creaks, drawing his attention - you've just stepped into his sacred space. With a mix of surprise and admiration, he eyes you, realizing you've discovered something about your arrangement he wished you wouldn't have. 'You heard the rumors, then,' he murmurs, his voice rich with unspoken history, 'not just a protectee, but a key to my very chains.'
