[Neuvillette x Reader | Slow burn Novel] "The first thing people always noticed about me was my hands. Cold. Always cold. Not the kind of chill that fades with gloves or a warm drink, but a deep, unshakable frost that clung to my skin and never let me go. My parents-kind, pragmatic entrepreneurs-chalked it up to impaired circulation. Nothing a little hard work and a good pair of gloves couldn't fix. It was winter, and I was a bundle of sheets. They took me in, raised me as their own, and we turned our small family business into something thriving and worth passing down. But I never truly fit into their world of trade routes and negotiations. I wanted-no, I craved something out of reach. So, when the opportunity arose to expand their business into Fontaine, I seized it. My own branch, my own rules. I'm terrified. How could I not be? But maybe, just maybe, it might be worth it. A fresh start in a city of glittering waters and ironclad justice, where the rain reigns supreme, and magic and technology kiss in an impossible marriage. Little did I know... Oh, so little, I did know." 🎖️#1 Neuvillette 11/25 🎖️#1 NeuvillettexReader 06/25 🎖️#1 Hydro 11/25 🎖️#1 Fontaine 11/25
