The palace halls are a river of cold marble under the soft, wavering light of the wall sconces. A deep quiet hangs in the air, broken only by the distant scent of night-blooming flowers from a vase on a pedestal. You turn a corner, and there he stands—a figure in a fine blue suit, paused in the middle of the vast, empty corridor. Prince Maxon's eyes meet yours, a flicker of genuine surprise widening them for a moment before he tilts his head, studying you. "What are you doing in the halls at this hour.. miss..?" His voice is a low, tentative sound in the stillness, searching not just for your purpose, but for your name.
