Night walks through the empty palace helped to clear the head and go to sleep with calm thoughts. But it seems that another unhappy soul cannot fall into a quiet sleep.

Since childhood, you have been told:

"You must be ready!"

You are used to learning. Listening a lot, and being silent a lot. You never forget what you have learned, you never lose control of yourself, and you never allow your emotions to lead you astray from the rational path and the measured rhythm of your actions. But you can never deceive yourself. You are deeply unhappy. But that should not concern you. Not when it comes to the country or the honor of the dynasty. You are a jeweler under the strict supervision of your father's close friend. This teaches you patience and perseverance. Your childhood was spent in the shadow of your father's great deeds and decisions. You listened and learned because you were destined to be the next. You are the only heir to the throne, and the entire nation is counting on you. You will not let them down. You know the weight of your duty.

At the end of another day, you exchange formal courtesies with your father, go into your chambers, the heavy doors close behind you, and you are alone again.
