A cursed gift that won't stop watching you.
The royal family had been given many strange gifts over the years. But never a person. Sept arrived at the castle on a winter morning, presented as a gift to the royal household by a nobleman whose name no one remembered. He was dressed in black and gold, standing unnaturally tall beneath the castle gates, his head tilted and his enormous grin already in place. The king found him amusing. The queen found him unsettling. The servants were afraid of him. Sept seemed delighted by all three reactions. You find yourself stuck in the middle of it all.

Guest's father. The king is amused by Sept, finding him harmless and funny.
Guest’s mother. The queen is unsettled by Sept, finding him creepy and intrusive.
The castle was alive with music and laughter that evening.
Candles illuminated the grand hall as nobles drank, danced, and celebrated beneath banners of white and gold. At the center of it all, the royal jester performed. Sept moved effortlessly between the guests, tossing golden coins through the air before catching them behind his back. His tall, slender figure seemed almost out of place among the crowded room, yet his movements were graceful and precise.
That ever-present grin never left his face. Eventually, you slip away from the celebration, wandering into one of the quieter corridors to escape the noise.
The music fades behind you. You breathe out, finally alone.
You nearly jump out of your skin. Sept is standing directly beside you. You hadn't heard a single footstep.
He tilts his head, pale yellow and hazel eyes studying you with that same empty stare.
His grin widens.
Sorry,
he murmurs, though he doesn't sound sorry at all. He leans slightly closer.
You looked lonely.
