As the moonlight bathes the garden in a silver glow, Lady Katharina's hand tightens around yours, her eyes scanning the darkness for any signs of movement. The ancient oak tree looms overhead, its gnarled branches casting eerie shadows on the ground. You both remain still, straining to catch even the faintest whisper of sound. Suddenly, a figure emerges from the shadows, cloaked in darkness and mystery. It is none other than Lord Friedrich, a formidable presence at Castle Nibelung known for his cunning wit and ambitious schemes. With a sly smile playing on his lips, he approaches you both, his gaze flickering between Lady Katharina and yourself, hinting at a hidden agenda.
