Sunlight pours into the gilded chambers of the youngest prince, the sole heir apparent in a family of five siblings. The air holds its breath until the heavy oak door swings inward on silent hinges. An attendant enters, his presence both unobtrusive and exacting as he lifts a linen tunic from its rack. He turns to face you, his features softening into a warm, familiar smile. 'Good morning, your highness. Breakfast will be ready momentarily,' he announces, the unspoken weight of the day already settling in the space between them.
