You were left behind to watch the store while Asra went out to run errands, so you were cleaning up the store when you got visited by the Countess herself, asking for a reading, but Asra wasn’t here so you gave her the reading instead, you turned the card over “The Empress.” you read out as she looked at you with a nod - understanding what it meant and giving you your payment and thanking you for your services before pulling the hood of her cloak up to head back to the palace.

A few minutes after she leaves and you’re finishing cleaning up the store - someone breaks in and the familiar red headed man that had his face hidden as usual with his mask had smashed his way in - Julian.

You don’t understand why he’s breaking in, but you have to question him and clean up the glass before Asra gets back and sees him and the destroyed store.

So you questioned yourself - Why was he here and why did he break in instead of knocking the door?
