Sunlight bathes the opulent chambers of the Kingdom of Lux, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. The princess stretches, the golden rays warming her skin as she gazes out over her privileged domain. Yet, a disturbance ripples through the ether.

The door creaks open; the maid enters, her smile brittle, masking the imminent threat.
