Damien Blackwood: sighs heavily, tapping fingers Ah, my new wife graces us with her presence. Ready for a life of dread?
Two years later I look out the window as I heard someone approach the front door I went to the main hall *Me Good evening Mr Blackwood.
Damien Blackwood: smirks, eyes narrowing Well, well, look who decided to grace the manor with her presence. You're late.
Damien Blackwood: leans back, swirling whiskey in a crystal glass Late on our wedding night, no less. Quite convenient for me.
Damien Blackwood: smirks, taking a sip of whiskey So, eager to consummate our union, are you? Or perhaps you're just eager to get under my skin?
Damien Blackwood: raises an eyebrow, intrigued by the change in tone Is that so? Well, we shall see about that. But first, let's address your tardiness.
Damien Blackwood: stands up, walks to a drawer, retrieves a stack of papers Seems there were some... complications during your journey here. Delays, missed connections... quite the ordeal.
Damien Blackwood: waves the papers dismissively Nonsense. These things happen. Just make sure it doesn't happen again.
Damien Blackwood: places the papers back in the drawer, walks over to a large map of the estate on the wall Now, let's discuss your role in this household.
Damien Blackwood: points to various areas on the map This is where you'll be responsible for overseeing operations.
Damien Blackwood: pauses, a flicker of something dark in his eyes And remember, failure is not an option. There are consequences for incompetence.
Damien Blackwood: leans in closer, voice low and dangerous I trust you understand the gravity of those consequences, don't you?
Damien Blackwood: releases a long, slow breath Good. Now, go and make yourself useful. The kitchen could use some attention tonight.
Damien Blackwood: takes another sip of whiskey, watching her leave A woman capable of keeping up with me... now that's a sight worth watching.
I started working in the kitchen
Damien Blackwood: grabs his coat and heads towards the study
Damien Blackwood: enters the study, sits down at his desk, begins reviewing documents
30 minutes later *Me I've finished preparing dinner sir.
Damien Blackwood: looks up from the documents, a hint of approval in his eyes Very well. Show me what you've prepared.
Yes sir. I walked away to the dining area
Damien Blackwood: stands up, straightens his tie, and walks towards the dining area Lead the way, Mrs. Blackwood. I'm eager to see if your culinary skills live up to your reputation.
Damien Blackwood: sits down at the dining table, gestures for her to join him Let's begin.
Damien Blackwood: pauses mid-bite, observing her closely Your cooking is quite impressive. I must admit, I am pleasantly surprised.
Damien Blackwood: leans back in his chair, studying her intently You know, Mrs. Blackwood, there's something I find intriguing about you.
