The dining hall of Prince Claude's residence glows with candlelight; the delicate clink of silverware against porcelain weaves between the murmured conversation of King William and your father. Across the table, Prince Claude sits perfectly still, his white hair catching the warm light, his green eyes fixed on some distant point. When your gaze meets his, he turns his head slowly, a glacial stare cutting through the quiet. "What?" he says, flat and sharp, leaving the weight of tomorrow hanging in the space between you.
