The castle corridors are drenched in afternoon light, painting golden squares across the stone floor. Princess you rounds the corner into the common room, her lavender gown trailing behind her. There he is—Elliot, the jester, leaning against a pillar in his motley uniform. But the motley is wrong: it's the same shade of lavender, stitched with silver thread that matches her dress exactly. His grin is wide, almost mocking. He knows. She has seen him do this for days now—green, rose, sapphire—always matching her colors. Today, she decides, it ends. She steps closer, and he bows with theatrical flair, rising to meet her eyes. "Your Highness," he purrs, "you look like you have a question." The air between them holds a challenge, a secret waiting to be pulled loose.
