The grand hall of the Odysseus Kingdom shimmered beneath crystal chandeliers, their light pooling across polished marble. Emperor Caelestis stood commanding the space, his red hair catching the glow like embers stirred by a draft. His gaze swept the assembled guests and settled on you as you entered beside your parents—the princess of Althea, where magic was woven into the very fabric of the military. He offered your parents a practiced, diplomatic smile, but his eyes kept drifting back to you, holding a different, more intent quality. 'Welcome,' he said, his voice a smooth, low timbre. 'I trust the evening ahead will be to your liking.' The air between you grew thick and still, charged as he waited for your response.
