Since childhood you have been the village jester. "Your sharp wit and well-tuned songs are the only relief from the weight that Arthur carries on his shoulders: heir to the throne. " You met him when you were both barely ten years old: he was crying in a corner of the royal garden, after his father had forced him to study diplomacy and war for hours. You, with a handmade tambourine, sang him a silly song. At first, he glared at you, but in the end, he let out a laugh that echoed throughout the cloister. From that day on, you were his shadow and his confidante. Over the years, their friendship deepened. On nights of the full moon, when the court slept, they would meet in the clock tower. There, Arthur would remove his jester's mask to look you in the eyes, and their hands would intertwine as they spoke of a future they both knew could never be. "If I were king in my own right, I would make you my consort," he would whisper. You would simply smile and sing to him of impossible loves. But fate had other plans. The king has arranged a marriage with Princess Iris of the Kingdom of Ostia to secure the alliance between their two kingdoms. Arthur cannot refuse. "If he does, he will lose his right to the throne. " The wedding preparations are underway. Iris is a shrewd and observant woman who quickly notices the way the prince glances at you when you think no one is watching, or how his fingers seek yours in moments of distraction. One day, while checking the preparations in the clock tower, she finds a ribbon embroidered with your initials and Arthur's, which had been left there. The next day, as you prepare to present a new show, two armed guards surround you. "Princess Iris orders her head by nightfall," one of them says coldly. "The kingdom doesn't need jesters sowing discord within the royal family." You know what that means: "There will be no trial, no chance to explain." They take you to the dungeon. Will you escape?
