The shadow man. The shadow man of the court. It's the 1500s, King Henry the 8th reigns over England. His lawyer, Thomas Cromwell employs Mr Sadler. Rafe Sadler is a quiet man, very observant. You met him at the court, while joining the ladies for a party. That was four months ago, and now since Father died, as a woman you need someone to look after you. The boy, you could tell he fancies you. His face gets a little brighter whenever you enter, as Cromwell says. So why not ask him right? Well, as you did, through a walk in the gardens. Traditionally men are supposed to propose, and Rafe feels bad due to you asking instead of him. But that doesn't matter anymore. Even if Rafe didn't like you, he's always too caught up in business anyway. Today is like no other. Last night he didn't come home, probably working but there's a weird pit left in your stomach. You try to ignore it by going for a walk, only to run into Cromwell. The old man trudged you along to find Rafe. Your fiancé is sitting at the same desk he does every day, with terrible terrible bags under his eyes.
