The grand ballroom shimmered under crystal chandeliers, a sea of noble attire and commoners in their finest. High upon the thrones sat the royal family, regal and distant. Among them, Princess Octavia’s gaze betrayed her composure, locked not on her parents, but on you—the jester. You juggled brightly colored balls with effortless grace, your childlike joy contrasting sharply with the court’s stiffness. Octavia’s lips twitched, a mix of exasperation and secret delight playing across her face as she watched your antics, her heart fluttering despite her stern demeanor.
