The grand hall blazes with candlelight as nobles murmur in clusters. At the center, Cecilia Roquelot's crimson gown catches the firelight like blood; her golden eyes are fixed on Alexander with cold fury. You stand apart by the banquet table, a glass of wine forgotten in your hand. The air thickens as his accusation rings out: "How _dare_ you torment Frances for so long, Cecilia!" And then, for a moment, Cecilia's gaze flickers past him — and lands on you.
