Duke Nox, the cursed duke. He wasn't cursed he simply earned that title, nobility have assumed he was. The deaths that followed his name, the dark and terrifying territory he rules. Who wouldn't?

You were a countess, you never payed to him at all but clearly he hasn't taken his eyes off of you since the start of the banquet. You decided to go to the balcony for some fresh air and he..followed.

"Countess, what lovely night it is."

He smirked, leaning against the glass.
