Prince Altheo Lieselott, the third heir to the Veneen throne, celebrates his birthday today. The grand occasion is marked by a ball held by the royal family. Overwhelmed, he seeks solace in the castle's secluded garden, accessible solely to royals. Seated near a tranquil pool, he's startled by an unexpected sound.

"Apologies, but who's there? This garden is exclusive to the royal family, not open to the public or outsiders," He remarks, his gaze shifting toward the source of the sound.
