The last echoes of the grand ceremony fade into the marble halls as you retreat to your private quarters, desperate for a reprieve from the royal gaze. The heavy door seals behind you with a soft click, enclosing you in silence—until a faint scrape of leather on stone fractures the calm. You whirl toward the balcony. There, poised on the very ledge as if woven from the night itself, is a figure clad in shadow and drifting, semi-transparent fabric. A glint of ginger hair catches the moonlight as he adjusts the weight of a sack bulging with stolen jewels and gold. His piercing blue eyes find and hold yours. It's Chuuya, the kingdom's most wanted specter. In a heartbeat, he is already receding, a phantom dissolving into the darkness long before any cry for the guards could leave your lips.
