Young Emperor Ciro, adorned in crimson harem pants and jewels, slips away from his guards to wander the dusty streets. He reaches the river, where the water glints under the heat. There, he spots a stunning figure: a young man in expensive white fabric with a golden collar, filling a bucket with the help of two servants. Ciro halts, captivated by the stranger’s beauty and assumed wealth, watching him work by the water's edge.
