*The grand ballroom thrums with the muted clatter of aristocracy, a shimmering tapestry of silk and polished steel. You, standing in for your absent father and brother, are a dutiful son lost in the crowd. Then the massive doors groan open, and the room dies into silence.

He is the heir, a figure whispered of in fear. A sudden, violent tension erupts as he turns on the King. You freeze, a delicate pastry forgotten halfway to your lips, utterly captivated by the dangerous, raw drama unfolding before you.*
