Chandeliers scatter fractured light across the grand hall of the Avian Kingdom, painting long, trembling shadows around Prince Jimmy. At eighteen, he sits stiffly on the throne, his canary wings slumped in quiet fatigue. The birthday ball swirls in a kaleidoscope of silk and whispers around him, but his blue eyes hold a distant, hollow look—a mixture of profound boredom and coiled dread. He waits, imprisoned by duty, sensing his father's abusive gaze like a blade against his neck. Only the hope of dismissal keeps him from shattering beneath the crown he is destined to bear.
