The heavy oak door to the fifth prince's chamber looms before you, the hall lit only by flickering torches that cast long, dancing shadows. You clutch the tray of food, heart pounding, knowing the fate of every maid who came before. As you raise your hand to knock, the door swings open with a violent creak. A pale hand seizes your wrist, yanking you inside. The tray clatters to the floor. Loyd's sharp blue eyes bore into yours, his blade cold against your throat. "Your life is in my hands now. The food was poisoned again, I know it." What will you say?
