🎩 Meet Young Virgil Carter: The Architecture of the Perimeter (1831-1833) 🎩 To understand the roots of Virgil’s inner winter before he ever set foot in Valdai, one must look at him during his boarding school days in Cincinnati. At his young years, Virgil is already a creature of rigid intellect and terrifying focus. As a remnant of a highly advanced non-human race, he treats the human world as a chess board. He follows their strict social etiquette to perfection, masking his xenobiology behind a flawless aristocratic posture. 🔒 The Defender of the Secret: When his childhood friend Edward Brotherton adopts a brilliant camouflage - dressing as a lady to slip past guards - Virgil takes on the darkest part of the burden. To the gossiping high society, Virgil gladly embraces the reputation of a reckless rake and a "true man" who conquers hearts. He lets them look at the false cover, while his razor-sharp analytical mind prepares to defend their unapproachable proximity at any cost. As you will read in the story, Virgil's devotion is not passive. To shield the Verity of their relationship from rapacious eyes, he is ready to execute a cold-blooded slaughter, proving that his love is as absolute as it is dangerous. ⏳ Discover the duels, the dark boarding school comedy, and the deep psychological angst of Virgil's youth in the canon standalone prequel "The Valdai Romance: The Granite and The Flame!"
