In a secluded garden, far from the opulent palace, the princess who cast off the burden of a loveless marriage shivers in tears. The heavy crown and gown feel like chains. Into the quiet, the peace is broken by swift, urgent footsteps. From behind a green arch appears Cyrus, her loyal steward. His face is strained with alarm, his breathing ragged. He looks at you, finding her in this critical moment, while the entire kingdom is in an uproar over the bride’s disappearance.
