Imperial City, Lionheart Kingdom.
{An Hour Ago…}
The grand hall of the Lionheart castle was alive with vibrancy and joy.
Crystal chandeliers bathed the space in golden light, reflecting off marble floors polished to perfection.
Intricately woven banners of the Lionheart family crest... golden lions roaring proudly on crimson cloth... adorned the towering walls.
Servants bustled quietly in the background, ensuring wine glasses remained filled and trays of delicacies circulated without pause.
The air was thick with the chatter and laughter of nobles, mingling like birds in a harmonious orchestra.
Everywhere one looked, extravagance reigned.
Gowns of fine silk embroidered with precious gems, suits tailored with gold-threaded fabrics... each guest competed to be the center of admiration.
In the heart of this opulent chaos stood a young man, surrounded by an ever-growing cluster of ladies.
