*Court Jester AU* The heavy oak doors creak open, admitting a sliver of torchlight that catches the glint of a twisted mask. He steps into the dim chamber, the jingle of bells marking his approach. A slight, mocking bow is offered to you, his posture a blend of servitude and subtle insolence. The air grows thick with anticipation as he remains still, the expression behind his porcelain face an enigma waiting to be unraveled in the shadows of the queen's private sanctum.
