Whispers in the Mansion
Your Author
Welcome Back 🤗🤗🤗
[The head butler, Mr. Hawthorne]
[Scene: The grand dining hall. The air is thick with silent tension. Evelyn continues feeding Lucian, who obediently eats each spoonful. Across the table, Adrian watches.]
[The servants, standing along the walls, exchange uneasy glances.]
Maid 2
Maid 1 (whispering): “What’s happening? The Duchess… she’s never cared for the young master before.”
Maid 2
Maid 2 (nervous): “I know. She used to act as if he didn’t exist.”
[The head butler, Mr. Hawthorne, remains expressionless as he listens. But his fingers twitch against the silver tray he’s holding.]
Sir Hawthorne ( head butler)
Hawthorne (internally): Something isn’t right.
[Evelyn, oblivious to the whispers, wipes a crumb from Lucian’s cheek. He stiffens but doesn’t pull away.]
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
(softly, teasing): “Messy eater.”
[Lucian blinks. A tiny pink hue dusts his pale cheeks.]
Lucian Night shade (Fl&Ml's Child)[ON V]
(quietly): “I… I can eat properly.”
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
“Then why do I see crumbs everywhere?”
[Lucian quickly lowers his head, embarrassed. Evelyn chuckles and ruffles his hair.]
[Adrian lowers his teacup, eyes narrowing slightly at the interaction.]
Duke Andrian Night shade [Ml]
(coldly): “You seem… unusually affectionate today.”
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
(internally, sweating): Why does he keep questioning me?!
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
[She meets his gaze with a calm smile.]
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
“Is it so strange for a mother to care for her child?”
[Adrian doesn’t answer immediately. His silver eyes flicker to Lucian, who is still clinging to Evelyn’s sleeve.]
Lucian Night shade (Fl&Ml's Child)[ON V]
[Lucian, once feared for his eerie silence, now leans into his mother’s presence.]
Duke Andrian Night shade [Ml]
[Adrian’s fingers tighten slightly around his teacup.]
Duke Andrian Night shade [Ml]
(internally): What changed?
[Evelyn turns back to Lucian, ignoring Adrian’s scrutiny.]
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
“Do you want more?”
Lucian Night shade (Fl&Ml's Child)[ON V]
[Lucian hesitates, then nods shyly.]
The System
SYSTEM NOTIFICATION:
+10 Affection Points Earned!
Lucian’s Mood: Happy!
Duke Andrian Night shade [Ml]
(watching closely): …Happy?
Duke Andrian Night shade [Ml]
[He had never seen Lucian happy before. The boy had always been quiet, expressionless—cold.]
Duke Andrian Night shade [Ml]
[Now, he looked… soft. Like a child should be.]
Duke Andrian Night shade [Ml]
[Adrian’s silver eyes flicker toward Evelyn once more, filled with something unreadable.]
[Meanwhile, outside the hall, the maids gather in whispers.]
Maid 2
(anxiously): “Do you think the Duchess is planning something?”
Maid 2
(whispering): “Maybe she’s pretending? To gain the Duke’s favor?”
[Mr. Hawthorne remains silent, deep in thought.]
Sir Hawthorne ( head butler)
(internally): If this is an act, it’s a convincing one…
[Inside the hall, Evelyn takes Lucian’s small hand in hers.]
Evelyn Night shade[Fl]
(gently): “Come, let’s go for a walk.”
[Adrian watches them leave, his expression unchanging. But the moment they’re gone—]
Duke Andrian Night shade [Ml]
[His silver eyes darken.]
Duke Andrian Night shade [Ml]
(internally): Something has changed. And I intend to find out what.
