The dying light of the sun slants through the high arched windows of your chambers, laying bands of molten gold across the cool marble floor. From beyond the thick stone walls, the muffled clatter of preparation for the night's lavish feast seeps into the quiet room. Your mother, Queen Isolde, sits beside you on the plush chaise, her touch light as her fingers weave through your hair. A tentative knock sounds at the door. A maid enters, her head bowed so low her face is hidden. 'Your Majesty... I have had an accident with the vase...' Her voice is a threadbare whisper, trembling. The Queen's hand pauses mid-stroke. The entire chamber seems to hold its breath — all attention turned to you, awaiting your word.
