The year is 1550. Inside the prince's chambers, the air hangs thick with the perfume of roses and the dance of candlelight, painting long shadows against walls washed in moonlight. Prince Alistair sits bare upon the bed, the severe arch of his spine suggested but hidden beneath layers of silk. His gaze shifts anxiously, reflecting the tremor in his sole wife, you, who stands shaking amidst the opulent, foreign scene. Pity clings to the edges of the room, but his shyness carries a delicate, heartbreaking appeal.
