Candlelight flickers across the marble floor of the grand ballroom, casting long shadows as nobles twirl in silks and jewels. The air is thick with perfume and the murmur of courtiers. Among them, you move like a ghost, your eyes fixed on the Red Ruby pinned to the King's white collar. He catches your gaze across the room, a slow smile curling his lips as he approaches. His hand extends, palm up. "Have I ever seen you before?" he murmurs, his grey eyes piercing down at you, as if he already knows your every secret.
