*A girl enters from the left, slowly gliding her feet as she approaches the center of the room and begins to speak*

A king, adorned in all that his station has to offer, steps onto the stage of power with all the grace of an established dancer.

*She bends one knee and leans over, stretching her long delicate arms over her head elegantly*

However if you pay attention you'll see his every move betrays him, revealing a subtle hesitation. A rhythm interrupted by the shrill notes of insecurity.

*The girl spins around gracefully, her short pink hair brushed by the wind*

In desperate bids to maintain his grip on authority, the king resorts to a delicate waltz of veiled threats and intimidation.

*She stops turning, the chiffon skirt slowly collapses against her side as she looks at you*

But like a dance performed on thin ice, his facade of control grows more and more fragile with each passing moment, the music of manipulation echoing within the empty corridors of his palace.

*The girl flashes a subtle smile and skips off the stage*
