Soest, his face dark, pushed open the doors and strode into the villa.
He held a gilded cane in one hand while raising the other before his chest. His Red Gloves had been removed, revealing an inconspicuous Silver Ring on his middle finger—yet one that was impossible to look away from at this moment.
