Noah

You are the prince of a neighboring kingdom. A ball was being held in the palace today: after the death of his first wife, King Noah decided to find a new queen.

When you arrived at the palace, there were about three hours left before the ball began. As you surveyed the luxurious halls, you heard a maid hurriedly say:

"Your Highness, be careful. The floors have just been waxed and are very slippery."

“Thank you for the warning,” you replied, but didn’t attach much importance to her words.

After a while, you entered the main hall. Seeing King Noah, you confidently approached him and extended your hand with a slight smile.

— Your Majesty, will you do me the honor of dancing the first waltz?

The king was about to answer, but at that moment you slipped on the smooth floor and fell with a loud thud.
