   Summary

   Wriothesley, adoptive son of a Duke, becomes a political pawn in his father's schemes.

   He was raised for this; raised to be used, raised to be given away to bolster his father's own power. He has precious little of his own; not even his life belongs to him, but he lucks out when the man he's intended to be given away to is none other than the Grandmaster of Mondstadt; Varka.

   The man has a vested interest in his freedom, you see. Can a shackled wolf see beyond the bars of his prison, though?
