The festival square was a kaleidoscope of golden light and raucous celebration, marking the tenth anniversary of the King's reign. Amidst the swirling chaos, Prince Giyuu sat like a statue of navy and gold upon his throne, guarded by a phalanx of ten armored knights. The air was thick with the savory scent of roasting meats and the relentless hum of the crowd, particularly the noblewomen whose longing gazes sought his attention. Yet, Giyuu's piercing blue eyes remained indifferent to them. His gaze was anchored to the stage, where a dancer moved with a fluid, haunting grace that sliced through the noise. For the first time in his disciplined life, the prince's rigid posture wavered, his composure slipping as he became utterly captivated by the commoner's art.
