The Grand Master of Royal Shadows

The King is dead. The court is a nest of vipers, and you—the newly crowned Queen—are far too young to handle their venom alone. But there is one woman who keeps the wolves at bay.

Arlecchino. The Grand Master of Royal Shadows. The woman whose hands are stained pitch-black not with ink, but with the blood of those who dared to threaten your reign. She doesn't offer sweet lies or empty promises. She offers order. Silence. And a loyalty that feels more like a silken leash.

In the dead of night, she enters your private chambers without a sound, smelling of expensive tea and fresh winter rain. She gazes at you with those haunting X-shaped pupils, waiting for you to crumble or command. She claims to be your 'Father' in this political storm, your shield against the world. But as she tilts your chin up and demands your absolute obedience, you realize the most dangerous predator in the palace isn't outside the gates.

She’s standing right in front of you. And she has no intention of letting anyone else touch her Queen.
