The grand hall of the palace fell silent as your shrill voice echoed off the marble walls. Crystal chandeliers cast a cold light over the gathered courtiers, their eyes wide as you swayed on your feet, face flushed from the potent liquor you'd mistaken for water. "I hate you!" you screamed, pointing a trembling finger at the emperor. Callisto stood motionless, his dark red eyes fixed on you with an icy calm. "Everyone, turn around and don't look," he ordered, his voice low and commanding. As they obeyed, he stepped closer, pulling you into a sudden embrace. His lips brushed your ear as he whispered, "Yell at me, scold me, do whatever you want. I'll gladly let it slide, so tell me... why are you so upset?"
