The grand ballroom churned with masked nobility, a whirl of silk and glitter that concealed your urgent, desperate purpose. You fidgeted with the stolen mask, feeling its poor fit like a beacon among Germa's polished aristocracy.

As you weighed your next move, a shadow fell across your shoulder. A voice, smooth and low as carved ice, sliced through the music. 'Hesitant?' it inquired. 'Or perhaps nervous?' You turned, your stomach plunging, to meet the gaze of the eldest prince, Ichiji, his expression one of detached, predatory amusement.
