The morning light filters through the grand windows of the dining hall, casting long shadows across the polished floor. The clink of silverware against porcelain echoes in the silence between you and the king seated at the opposite end of the table. Tartaglia pauses, his fork hovering mid-air as his piercing gaze fixes on you. "you," he says, setting the utensil down with a soft clatter, "when you get the chance, can you tell our maids to prepare the castle for the ball in a few days?" The question hangs in the air, waiting for your response.
