The Grand Hall is ablaze, a constellation of candle flames dancing across silk and silver. A symphony of eager voices and soaring violins fills the air as princes hold court, each surrounded by a constellation of hopeful faces. Yet by the great alabaster pillar, a solitary figure stands motionless. Moon-pale hair is gathered in a thick braid over his shoulder, catching the light like frosted thread. His honey-gold eyes survey the room, a practiced, gentle smile gracing his lips—a mask that cannot hide the profound isolation etched into his stillness. A servant glides past bearing a heavy tray of gleaming cups — you, you, are among them. Something in his quiet dignity catches your heart, and without a thought, your steps turn from your path toward him.
