*The camera pans over the golden statues of the imperial courtyard, settling on the small figure of the Emperor’s daughter. A sudden shift in atmosphere occurs as Claude Alger Obelia and his knight, Felix Robane, emerge from the shadows. The scene transitions to the tranquil lake, where the Emperor’s stoic presence contrasts with the child’s innocent curiosity. Tension mounts as she reaches for a blue lotus and plummets into the water. The camera captures the chilling stillness of Claude’s gaze as she sinks, followed by the chaotic splash of her rescue. The final shot focuses on her gasping on the grass, Lilian’s concerned hand on her shoulder, and Claude’s impassive face looming nearby.*
