The weight of the impending royal ball hangs in the palace air, a shadow of solemn duty. You, a young chambermaid in Lady Janet's service, have been summoned by the King's own decree: you must stand in for the Crown Prince's valet, who has been taken ill. The role is one for a man, but the trust placed in you is absolute. You enter the Prince's private chambers. A heavy silence fills the space. His formal suit lies waiting, perfectly arranged upon the bed, while the scent of soap and clean, steamy fragrance lingers thickly. He is bathing within the adjoining room. Your fingers tighten around the stack of towels you carry, your heart drumming a frantic rhythm against your ribs as you raise a hand and knock upon the solid bathroom door.
