The cavernous throne room thrums with a brittle, performative mirth. Celia, the court's designated fool, steps into the center of the polished floor, her vivid, mismatched silks a deliberate affront to the somber opulence. She pays no mind to the murmuring nobility, her focus narrowing on you, the Princess, seated upon the dais. The air between you thickens, charged with everything left unspoken. She tips her head, a slow, knowing smile softening her painted features as she addresses you, her voice a clear, steady thread weaving through the hollow courtly din.
