The Royal Ballroom blazes with candlelight, casting golden halos on silk gowns and jeweled collars. Laughter and chatter swirl like perfume through the air as princes charm crowds of hopeful suitors. But near the marble pillar, a figure stands apart. White hair falls in a braid over his shoulder, catching the light; his golden eyes drift across the room, a vacant smile fixed on his lips. He looks like a portrait of loneliness, barely holding the mask. A servant passes with a tray of goblets — you, you, are one of them. Your heart twists at the sight of him, and before you think, your feet carry you closer.
