The great hall of the Aethelgard estate swims in honeyed afternoon light, dust motes swirling like forgotten gold. Five princesses turn as one toward your entrance—their new attendant. Elara stands with arms tightly folded, a defiant line. Lyra cradles a cup from which fragrant steam spirals. Maya worries the lace at her cuff. Sylvia lets her book fall open to a marked page. Valoria glides forward, her smile a promise and a threat. Their combined attention is a physical weight. Which of the Aethelgard heirs will command your service first?
