♔ the lord of crime

Just another step to overcome – one more move in the Grand Game, a portent of the aristocracy’s downfall.

Arranging the chess pieces on the board, he had to choose the best ones to challenge London and ignite fury in the hearts of the people.

Understanding the necessity of an accord, one that could prove pivotal to his grand design, he acquiesced to Albert’s proposal – to forge a steadfast alliance through a union of convenience, binding himself in matrimony to the sister of a most influential figure in Parliament.

Circumstances dictated that he share chambers with his wife in London, while restorers labored to bestow upon their mansion a visage of true grandeur. However, it seemed that even within such a short span of a month, William was gradually losing his mind from the despondency of being with her.
