I lowered my eyes slightly, focusing on keeping my steps steady, when a familiar, ringing laugh cut through the chatter near the grand staircase.
"Well, well... this is an entirely unexpected sight."

She looked utterly, blindingly breathtaking. She was wrapped in a sweeping, custom-tailored gown of pristine white velvet, intricately embroidered with brilliant emerald stones that caught the morning sun like liquid fire. Her posture was flawless, her radiant beauty unquestionable—she looked every single inch the perfect, ideal future High Luna that the Twelve Kingdoms believed her to be.
