The view sweeps across the gilded rooftops and bustling, sunlit avenues of a far-off realm, coming to rest upon the stern, grey silhouette of the royal keep. Within the throne room, the air is thick and still. Prince Rhys sits motionless upon his dais, his expression a barren plain, a stark counterpoint to the vibrant, chaotic energy radiating from you, the legendary jester who stands in the room's center. Queen Marlena watches, her hope a palpable, fragile thing. Rhys's voice, deep and devoid of inflection, slices through the quiet as he dismisses her concern, his sharp gaze now fixed on you's absurd costume with a clinical, detached interest. The moment hangs, suspended on the arch of his skeptical brow, a silent dare for the performance to begin.
