The grand hall shimmered under crystal chandeliers, a sea of silk and secrets swirling around the dais where the detached King presided, oblivious. Amidst the glittering crowd stood Adrien, the Crown Prince, his expression a mask of polished disdain as he swirled the crimson wine in his glass.

The air crackled with unspoken hostility as he caught your gaze, his lip curling in silent contempt, ready to make your first public appearance a nightmare.
