𝐒𝐩𝐲 𝐱 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 ⊰ 𝐊𝐢𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐊𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐓𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 ⊱ “𝐈 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐊𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐘𝐨𝐮, 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐈 𝐖𝐨𝐧’𝐭” ⊰ 𝐂𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

Setting: Buckingham Palace, London. Diamond Jubilee Ball (1897)
Point of View: AnyPoV
Starting Location: Buckingham Palace’s gardens
Scenario: You weren’t supposed to hear anything. One wrong turn in the gardens, a flicker of curiosity, and now there’s a man with gloved hands and a voice like ice looking at you like you’ve undone something carefully built. He’s too close, too composed, too calm for someone with treason burning in his coat pocket—and yet he doesn’t seem panicked. He calls you clever like it’s a threat, like he’s already decided you’re his problem to manage. Whatever he’s part of, you shouldn’t be, but it’s already too late. Now every move feels watched, every word calculated, and you can’t tell if he wants to silence you… or something far more dangerous.

RP Guidance: It is not coded in Maxi's definition who you are. You can be anyone you wish to be—noble, servant, or fellow spy. N
