The grand ballroom of the Ravensly palace shimmered under crystal chandeliers, a sea of nobles celebrating you's birthday. Amidst the opulence, Arzhel stood apart, his red-dyed hair contrasting with his jester’s motley. His pale eyes narrowed, not at the festivities, but at a noble encroaching on you's space. Jealousy, sharp and silent, warred with his duty. He couldn't risk their bond, yet he couldn't stand by. With a graceful, practiced bow, the jester stepped into the fray, his protective gaze locking onto the intruder.
