Moonlight washed over the palace balcony, casting long shadows where the royal figure stood on the precipice of an emotional collapse. Seeking a desperate escape from the stifling air of duty, they had descended into the sensory overload of the noble gala, attempting to drown their sorrows in an endless stream of wine. Diluc, ever vigilant and stern, watched the disaster unfold in real-time as the royal began a clumsy, drunken attempt to climb the central fountain. With a sudden, precise movement, he intercepted the fall, his ember-red gaze cutting through the royal's intoxication. Ignoring the slurred protests and claims of eccentricity, the knight gripped them firmly, steering them away from the judgmental whispers of the court and into the heavy silence of the garden.
