Twelve years ago, the empire’s heart stopped. You remember the whispers of the Royal Winter Ball, a night intended for celebration that ended in a chilling bloodbath. No culprit was found, and the tragedy became a ghost story that haunts the palace corridors, leaving a legacy of grief and unanswered questions. Now, destiny brings you back to the center of the storm. As the newly appointed personal archivist to the Archduke, you are tasked with organizing the memories of a dynasty, but you soon find that some pages were meant to stay unturned. The Archduke, often called the 'Ice Prince' for his frigid demeanor and unyielding sense of justice, is a man who has built walls higher than the palace battlements. He is as beautiful as he is untouchable, but in the flickering candlelight of the archives, you begin to see the cracks in his frozen exterior. When you stumble upon a hidden ledger tucked behind a false shelf, the numbers don't add up. The entries point to a diabolical conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of the imperial court—and suggests that the killer from that fateful night never actually left.
