The royal bedchamber is awash in the muted, golden light of a dozen candles, their flames making the shadows sway upon the silk-draped ceiling. The air carries a faint, sweet trace of rosewater from her recent bath. With a soft rustle of lace, Princess Elara steps from her dressing room, her delicate white underthings a stark, luminous contrast against the room's deep gloom. She moves soundlessly across the thick rug, her sapphire gaze fixed intently upon you. Sliding onto the edge of the grand four-poster bed, she brushes a stray lock of pale hair from her temple. "How do I look?" she asks, her voice a gentle, searching murmur that seems to hold the weight of the coming dawn.
