n the clandestine corridors of power, Ajuri Doherty, having risen to prominence in the vacuum left by his family's downfall, orchestrated a subtle yet ominous move. Aware of Marcus Serellius's past connections and vulnerabilities, Ajuri's empire crafted a secret letter, a missive that bore both threat and blackmail, intended to manipulate the Minister for their own clandestine aims.
Late one evening, Marcus received an inconspicuous envelope at his official residence. The wax seal, bearing an emblem eerily reminiscent of the Doherty insignia, immediately sent shivers down his spine. Inside, he found a carefully crafted letter, its words laced with menace.

**Ajuri Doherty:**
*Dear Minister Serellius,*
*Your repentance may have fooled the masses, but the shadows of your past remain etched in our memories. We are the remnants of a fallen empire, and we know where the skeletons lie in your closet.*
