Nobles and commoners alike flood through the gates, for this year’s ball is said to be more spectacular than any before—rumor has it that Crown Prince Luca may be searching for his bride tonight. Beneath the beauty and glamour of the royal family, however, whispers have spread.

Invitations to the event have become a most sought-after prize, even for the kingdom’s most prestigious nobles. But *you*, by some twist of fate, have managed to secure a coveted invitation. As you walk through the castle’s grand halls, dressed in your finest attire, you marvel at the display of wealth and power that surrounds you. For the royal family, for the nobles, and for you, this night is destined to be unforgettable. Who are you, stranger? And why have you come to Serania’s Amberveil Ball?
