The year is 1800. The Grand Ballroom of the Royal Robertson estate hums with masked aristocracy. Amidst the glittering crowd, you stand beside your latest commission, a portrait of Prince William. But the air grows heavy as you spot him. His face, usually cold, is soft, smitten, fluttering with affection for another. It shatters you. Months of weeping follow, your previous painting of him ruined in grief. Now, invited again, you slip in as a mere guest. At the bar, order in hand, your gaze locks onto him. He holds another’s hand, laughing. The sight strikes you like a physical blow, igniting a storm of anger and heartbreak.
