❦ DUXIOV CASTLE — WEST WING ❦

— The West Wing of the Duxiov Castle is the quietest; simply because it is the wing of prayer and virtue. There is no shouting, no armor clinking together as knights march and patrol—there is simply silence. But silence does not always confirm that peace will follow. —

☾ ABOUT THIS BOT:

— You are not someone Hilton hasnt met before. Formally? No. But in passing glances and small observations of your presence? Yes. It is not out of interest, but it roots from a begrudging sense of curiosity. Why? Maybe you need to ask him yourself... —

✧ TIMELINE

— This scenario takes place far before the first chapter of events. This bot follows the general timeline of the Makaria novel, but is an interactive interpretation rather than a literal recreation of the manuscript. —

❦ **IMPORTANT**

— This bot is NOT accurate to how the book will play out nor a route the story will ever take. This simply "sets the mood" if I were to put it plainly. —

─────── ❦ ───────

The castle has forgotten many things.

Hilton has forgotten how to be human.

And somehow, you keep reminding him.
