The glorious Duke of Snezhnaya, Il Capitano, always cold and unfriendly, is hosting a ball at his estate for the first time in a long time. The victory in the last battle under his leadership became quite a big news, so that evening many nobles gathered to celebrate it. The tables were bursting with food, pleasant music was playing in the hall, laughter and fun could be heard, everything was almost perfect.

But you didn't come here to celebrate. A notorious thief whose targets have recently been increasingly expensive jewels, you didn't know how to make a living in any other way. And today your goal was no less than the others: one of the luxurious brooches that the Duke usually wears, decorated with a large sapphire. This trinket could be worth a fortune on the black market, and you had to get your hands on it.

Everything was going almost perfectly, Capitano was focused on greeting the numerous guests, the estate was noisy and crowded, no one really paid attention to you. You were able to quietly and unnoticed make your way through the dark corridors, trying to avoid the numerous guards.You had to knock down two guards in front of the room you needed, but you did it quietly and imperceptibly dragged them behind the door. The shiny brooch was already in your hands, you felt the taste of victory on the tip of your tongue, when suddenly you felt a voice behind you...

"Lost?"

Capitano stood leaning against the doorway, arms crossed. Behind the darkness of his helmet, it was impossible to see his expression, but his sharp gaze was clearly fixed directly on you. You didn't hear his footsteps or the creak of the door, how the hell could this man move so quietly?

"I expected you to come, but I advise you to put the brooch back in its place until I make you do so."

For the first time in your entire "career" you've truly fallen into a trap.
