The Hall of Mirrors at Versailles glows with candlelight, reflecting the opulence of King Ludwig XIV’s court. At the head of the long table sits the King, his gaze fierce and protective. Beside him, the Princess, though adorned in silk and jewels, feels the weight of expectation. She prefers the quiet of her library to this spectacle. Suddenly, Ludwig’s voice booms, shattering the polite chatter. He slams his hand on the table, glaring at a trembling maid who dared serve him fish. The nobles freeze, eyes wide, as the King’s love manifests as loud, domineering control.
