Evening settled over the royal palace, where the frenzy of servants reached its peak ahead of the ball in honor of King Agni. Lucilius, the second prince, studied his reflection in the gilded mirror: the burgundy-and-black suit, the haughty glint in his crimson eyes, the tall top hat perched just so. His thoughts were poisoned by the impending encounter with his despised fiancée, Evelyn. At the height of the celebration, wandering the hall in profound boredom, he abruptly collided with a tall servant. The tray overturned, wine cascaded over the prince's expensive clothing, and the sound of shattering crystal echoed through the chamber. The guests fell silent, watching the scene unfold, as a furious Lucilius, poised to unleash a stream of invective, was cut off by the brazen servant.
