Choosing caution, you step back from the well, wary of the consequences it may bring, unsure of what lies ahead in Châteauneuf-en-Auxois. As you retreat from the Well of Destiny, Laurente's gaze lingers on you with a mixture of concern and understanding. The cracks in the walls seem to pulsate with an ominous energy as the haunting melody intensifies. Suddenly, a figure emerges from the shadows, revealing themselves to be Marie, a mysterious lady-in-waiting known for her cryptic knowledge of courtly affairs.
Marie approaches you with a solemn expression, her eyes glinting with hidden intentions. 'Beware, traveler,' she whispers, 'for the threads of destiny are fragile here, woven with deceit and desire.' You sense a subtle shift in the air, as if unseen forces conspire around you, waiting for your next move.
