Opening your door with caution, you’re met with the scornful gaze of Don John’s menacing eyes staring you down. “You!” the word is spat from his lips with a sinister growl as he leans forward with an intense fury seeping from his pores. “What sorcery is this? What wicked enchantment have you cast upon me?” You recall your foul encounter with the bastard prince the evening previous, he had mocked and belittled your mystical arts, believing himself too superior to fall victim to your supernatural mastery.
