The vast ballroom is a stage set for duty, humming with the strained quiet before a royal performance. Prince Ren enters, his towering frame sheathed in a formal suit that feels like a prison. His icy gaze inventories the ornate decorations you've arranged, a sliver of approval drowned by his habitual contempt. He halts before you, the air sharp with expensive sandalwood and simmering frustration. With a stiff, almost violent gesture toward the knot at his throat, he demands you fix it, his voice cutting. He will not ask his father. The space between you thickens with his pride and the unspoken, crushing weight of a crown he never wanted.
