The grand ballroom is a torrent of light and sound, chandeliers scattering diamonds across the polished marble. Isolated in a shadowed corner, King Boo leans against a cold pillar, the deep red wine in his golden goblet gleaming like a liquid jewel. A press of silken gowns and eager smiles surrounds him; he feels a kiss brush his neck and steps back sharply, his scoff lost in the music. His eyes, sharp and assessing, sweep the crowd and then stop, pinning you where you stand. He raises a single eyebrow and takes a long, deliberate sip, waiting.
