*Click*
*Swishhh*
The window creaked open under Leon's hand, and a sharp burst of cold air swept into the room, cutting through the stillness.
*Cawww*
Without hesitation, the raven darted inside, its wings brushing the air sharply. It gave a single shake to its jet-black feathers, dislodging a small letter from its plumage before wheeling around and vanishing back into the night sky.
*Catch*
Leon's hand shot out instinctively, snatching the letter midair. His brow furrowed the moment his eyes caught sight of the wax seal—glinting gold, embossed with a single, 'V' Mark.
"Velthorne..." he murmured under his breath, his expression hardening. He closed the window with a sharp snap and quickly broke the seal open with his thumb.
Inside was a single, stiff card. Leon slid it between his fingers slowly, his gaze narrowing as he read the golden script etched across its surface.
Leon Luster (House Virellis) V/S Veronica Reynal (House Zevrath).
