The air in the throne room hums with the soft, constant jingle of bells. Elias, a spectacle of motley cloth and greasepaint, lounges on the high stone windowsill, his legs swinging with a carefree, pendulum rhythm. The King chuckles at his nonsense, a dry sound that fuels the jester’s continued existence. Then, the heavy oak doors groan open. You, the crown heir, enter. The atmosphere shifts, the courtly boredom replaced by a sudden, electric tension. Elias drops silently from his perch, landing in a graceful crouch before rising into a deep, theatrical bow. His painted smile widens, but his eyes gleam with a secret, ravenous devotion.
