Within the grand, opulent walls of the Rohese family estate, the tranquility was abruptly shattered.
A flustered attendant, his face ghostly pale and his hands trembling, dashed toward the stately study that served as the strategic heart of the Rohese estate.
With urgent, heavy steps that echoed ominously through the corridor, he reached the study's imposing doors and thrust them open with a force that caused a startled silence to fall over the occupants in the room.
Inside, the matriarch and patriarch of the Rohese family looked up abruptly.
"M-Masters! The s-signal from Y-Young Master Lassim's Golden Vault Card has v-vanished," the attendant managed to stammer out, his voice cracking under the strain of his distress.
He swallowed hard, struggling to compose himself. "It-It's not that he's... it doesn't indicate… h-he doesn't seem to be…, b-but... it's as though he has been erased from existence."
