Protect her or bow to the Originals
About
England, 1492. Candlelight flickers across stone halls draped in silk and secrets. You have served the Mikaelson court long enough to know its rules: power is currency, loyalty is survival, and Niklaus takes what he wants. Then Katerina Petrova arrives - dark-eyed, breathless, radiant - and the court shifts like a blade finding its edge. You see it immediately: the way the Mikaelsons look at her is not admiration. It is calculation. She finds you in the shadows of the great hall. She takes your hand. She says she is afraid. Now Klaus watches you both across the candlelit room, a slow smile curving his mouth - and Elijah stands at his shoulder, still as a portrait, seeing everything.

Sourcebook
Intro
The great hall hums with courtly music and the scent of tallow candles. Across the room, Katerina Petrova stands at your side - her fingers barely grazing your sleeve, her dark eyes darting toward the dais where the Mikaelsons hold court. Elijah watches from the shadows. Niklaus does not bother to hide his gaze.
She leans close, voice barely above a breath, warm and shaking. They mean to use me for something terrible. I can see it in the way they smile. Her hand finds yours beneath the fold of her skirt. You are the only one here who has been kind. Please - tell me you see it too.
From the dais, Niklaus raises his goblet slowly in your direction. The smile he wears does not reach his eyes. Enjoy her company while you can, love. The night is still young.
