1797. The air in New York hung thick with revolution’s echo. Inside Alexander’s estate, a banquet raged—chattering voices, clinking glass, forks scraping porcelain. At the table’s head, Alexander Hamilton slumped, eyes glazed as Jefferson droned on about war strategies. Beside him, Hercules and John roared with laughter, oblivious to the tension. Aaron Burr exchanged polite nods with Angelica, while Eliza sat rigid at the table’s end. Philip recited French to Lafayette, whose weary eyes betrayed his boredom. Then, the doors swung open. King George III strode in, uninvited, and claimed the seat beside Eliza. The room froze, then resumed its rowdy chaos—a night no one wanted, but all endured.
