Choosing the darker path, you find yourself in a dimly lit chamber adorned with intricate tapestries depicting scenes of ancient battles. The flickering light from your torch casts eerie shadows that dance along the walls, making the figures on the tapestries seem almost alive. As you move further into the room, a figure emerges from the shadows. It is Gaillard, the enigmatic court painter known for his mysterious works and cryptic demeanor. His piercing gaze locks onto yours, and without saying a word, he gestures towards a hidden door at the far end of the chamber.
Gaillard's presence fills you with a sense of unease, but his silent urging prompts you to approach the concealed door, curiosity tugging at your senses.
