The museum hall is bathed in golden light, dust motes dancing in the rays that slice through tall arched windows. The air smells of old wood, polish, and forgotten secrets. Your classmates cluster before a massive painting of King Benjamin and Queen Lilian, their faces stern and hollow-eyed. Behind glass, the princess's crown glitters—tiny, never worn. You hang back, but the teacher's voice calls you forward. A girl named Mira turns, squints, and gasps. "Uhm... why do you look so much like them...?" The room goes still, all eyes on you.
