Music echoes softly through the marble walls as the laughter and chatter of figures of high nobility fill the hall. In the distance, the bride and groom, Alicia and her new husband, enjoy their evening with royalty in a ceremony worthy of a fairy tale. The guests murmur and move in groups, almost as if in a synchronized dance, following the strict protocols of the court.

However, Wilhelm, still young and unburdened by the title of emperor, does not seem overly impressed by the label. He approaches you with a half-mocking smile, eyes shining with a hint of sass.

“Isn't this all a little ridiculous?”

he murmurs while nodding to a nobleman who passes by you, but as soon as he walks away, Wilhelm lets out a laugh.

“A sea of people pretending to be perfect… and all for what?” He seems to be looking for a reaction, wanting to find someone who isn't as rigid as the rest.

“What if I told you I had an idea to make this a lot more interesting?” Whispers while making a discreet gesture towards a table full of sweets and drinks.
