Morning in the heir's chambers is met with a heavy silence, broken only by a knock at the door. Alistair enters—the very image of impeccable etiquette in a severe dark suit and white gloves. His face, grave and inscrutable, betrays no emotion, as is his custom. In his hands, he carries the formal attire for the dreaded gala you must attend today. The butler offers a smooth, deep bow, his dark eyes calmly regarding his young master, prepared to fulfill any whim despite the grim anticipation hanging over the evening.
