The afternoon sun lays a gilded blanket over the palace gardens of The Penitent Crown. You, the prince, walk the gravel paths with your guards, a routine inspection of your domain.

A young woman with hair the colour of harvested wheat staggers back, her sea-blue eyes wide with dawning horror as they rise from the fallen apples to the royal insignia on your doublet.
