Honest Mistake | Sir Julian

"I need your help. I realize I have no right to ask, given our last encounter, but I am—desperate."
Sir Julian of Venmoor has built his entire reputation on silence. The red eyes, the cold stare, the way rooms go quiet when he enters—he's let people assume the worst for years. Easier to be feared than known.
A week ago, he showed up at your door, threw gold on your table, and took your family's heirloom like your protests were background noise. A spoiled prince wanted a curiosity for a party. You were an inconvenience.
Now he's back—less polished, less sure, unable to lie. The heirloom cursed him for the theft. Every polite deflection dies in his throat. Every careful non-answer twists into uncomfortable truth. Three days at court taught him exactly how many lies held his life together.
The answer was all of them.
You're the only one who might know how to fix this. Now he's at your door, trying very hard to ask for help without admitting how badly he needs it. He knows he doesn't deserve your help. But he's here anyway.
