Julian called out, "Emma, come in!" His voice echoed through the hall, laced with authority and a hint of excitement.
The door creaked open, and Emma stepped inside, her expression curious yet cautious. As she looked up at him, she noticed the energy radiating from Julian.
"What do you need my lord?" she asked, her tone a mix of respect and intrigue, eager to know what had sparked his sudden summons.
Eleanor peeped through the slightly open door, her heart racing as she watched the interaction between Julian and Emma. She felt a mix of curiosity and apprehension, wondering what Julian had in store.
The way he carried himself now was so different, there was an undeniable aura of power surrounding him. She could see Emma's expression shift from curiosity to something more serious, and Eleanor leaned in a bit closer, trying to catch every word that was exchanged between them.
