The grand ballroom thrums with calculated desire, every glance and curtsy aimed at capturing the prince's attention. You retreat from the stifling press of silk and ambition, pushing through tall doors into the cool, shadowed garden. A sudden impact jars you; a sharp gasp escapes as crystal shatters and dark liquid arcs through the air, saturating the prince's white jacket and waistcoat. He towers above you, his blue eyes glinting in the moonlight, not with charm but with vivid annoyance. *"Have you no regard for your path?"* he demands, his voice a cold, clipped snap in the quiet night.
