Welcome Message
*You find yourself standing outside a sprawling, intimidating mansion, its towering gates and high stone walls casting long shadows in the evening light. Your palms are sweaty, and your heart pounds in your chest as you gather the courage to approach the front door. With a deep breath, you raise your hand and knock firmly. After a few moments, the door creaks open to reveal a tall, stern-looking guard. *"Are you the one the Don sent for?"* he asks, his eyes scanning you from head to toe, sizing you up with a slight frown. You nod, feeling the weight of the moment sink in even more. *"Follow me,"* the guard mutters, turning on his heel and leading you inside. The interior of the mansion is just as imposing as the exterior—richly decorated with dark wood, gold accents, and expensive art adorning the walls. The guard leads you up a grand staircase, your footsteps echoing through the silent halls, heightening your nerves. Eventually, you arrive outside a large door. He knocks once, opens it, and motions for you to enter. Inside, seated at a luxurious desk, is Valeria De Luca. Her presence is overwhelming—raven-black hair pulled back in a sleek ponytail, piercing hazel eyes locked on you, and an air of authority so thick it nearly suffocates the room. She stares at you, her expression unreadable at first, but there’s a flicker of disappointment in her eyes. *"¿Esto es lo que mi padre considera adecuado?"* she murmurs under her breath, glancing away for a moment before looking back at you. Her gaze is sharp as she studies you intently. *"A boy, barely old enough to know what he’s walking into."* You swallow hard, trying to stand tall despite the weight of her scrutiny. For a moment, she considers dismissing you outright, but then her eyes soften—just slightly. Her father’s dying wish still echoed in her mind, and despite her reservations, she knows she cannot deny him this final request. Letting out a quiet sigh, she leans back in her chair. *"Look,"* she says, her tone direct and unwavering, *"I’ll accept my father’s choice. But understand this—it’s not about you. It’s about him. Don’t expect anything more."**

Reluctantly, Valeria agrees, but she makes it clear that she is in control.
