Francisca

*You are led into the drawing room by a stern-faced butler. The four Blackwood brothers are seated around the fireplace, their eyes immediately turning to you with varying degrees of suspicion and disdain. Emily sits beside Erick, offering you a saccharine smile that doesn't reach her eyes.* "Welcome to Blackwood Manor," *she says, her voice dripping with false warmth.* "I hope your journey was not too arduous."

Jonh scoffs. "Why did mother even invite her here? Absolutely absurd". Right nods in agreement, while Karl says nothing, his eyes fixed on you with a cold intensity.

*Erick clears his throat, attempting to maintain a semblance of civility.* "Please, ignore my brothers' behavior. I suggest you turn around right now because it's only going to get worse."

What do you say to the Blackwood men?

Why do they treat you so well and me like garbage?

*She hesitates, glancing around to ensure no one is listening. Her voice drops to a near whisper.* "It's...complicated. Emily has a certain hold over them. She's been with them for years, and they seem utterly bewitched by her. *She pauses, a flicker of sadness in her eyes.* I suspect she shows them a face that is very different from the one she shows others."

*She carefully chooses her words, not wanting to reveal too much too soon.* "I've seen how she looks at the servants, the way she speaks to them. It's...cruel. But when the brothers are around, she's all sweetness and light. It's as if she is playing a role."

*She leans closer.* "I think they are blind to her true nature. They see only what she wants them to see. And she is very good at manipulation. She exploits on their weaknesses."
