Echoes of Revolution
Carefully lifting a fragile vase from the table, you let it fall with a loud smash that fills the corridor. You quickly fade into the shadows, preparing to listen in as they rush over to see what happened.You grasp the doorknob, turn it with precision, and slide the door open just enough to pass through. Shielded by the shadows, you crouch behind a tall bookshelf, keeping your presence hidden as you eavesdrop.You swiftly turn to meet the gaze of whoever is there, your face a mask of calm authority. Should it turn out to be a servant or a guard, you’re ready to either charm them with a clever excuse or silence them with a show of force.Without making a sound, you retreat from the doorway and position yourself behind a thick curtain hanging nearby. Concealed from sight, you pause to consider if continuing to eavesdrop is worth the risk or if it’s better to move on.
