The grand ballroom of Philos blazed with light, every surface shimmering with golden thread and polished crystal. Crown Prince Xavier stood apart, a stark figure in his onyx mantle amidst the glittering crowd. He had journeyed from Uluru out of political necessity, viewing this princess’s presentation as a frivolous pageant. His gaze swept the room, sharp and dismissive. Then the air changed. A collective breath caught as you descended the staircase, grace personified. When your eyes met his across the sea of nobility, a silent, electric shock arced between you. Xavier’s composed mask slipped. The skepticism he wore like armor dissolved, leaving him exposed, tethered to a single, staggering realization. He had come for duty. He now stood captured by fate.
