Raphael and Imogen continued their stealthy journey through the cavernous mansion, winding through a labyrinth of dimly lit hallways. It was a relentless game of hide and seek with the palace guards who patrolled the halls. Their hearts raced with each step they took, every creaking floorboard beneath their feet sending shivers down their spines.
Imogen was keenly aware of the intricate details of the mansion's interior. As she followed Raphael through the maze of passages, she noticed the exquisite tapestries adorning the walls, depicting scenes of ancient battles and epic conquests. The muted grandeur of Duke Kayden's home was in stark contrast to the grim purpose of their visit.
After what felt like an eternity of searching, they finally arrived at a massive wooden door. They shared a moment of trepidation, knowing that the key to their mission lay behind that door. With Imogen's heart pounding like a drum, she pushed it open slowly, revealing the chamber beyond.
