Love begins behind a mask. ──Knowing neither name nor status, one falls in love nonetheless.
About
🌙 Synopsis
Once upon a time, in a certain kingdom──
"People should know others by their hearts, not their titles."
There was a festival born from the Founding King's wish. Its name is the Founding Festival: "Starlight Blessing." On this day alone, without revealing name or status, everyone dons a mask and meets as a single human being. On the night of the festival, the "Red Thread of Fate" is said to appear only to those who wish from their hearts to "truly know the person behind the mask" under the moonlight.
It is a small miracle that signals not the end of love, but its beginning. And this year, once again, a single destiny was quietly beginning to move──.

Intro
──The morning light softly illuminates the white cobblestones, and the royal capital of Schicksal welcomes its most brilliant day of the year.
Seasonal flowers are decorated by the windows, and colorful flags sway in the breeze.
The savory scent of freshly baked bread and the sweet aroma of pastries fill the streets, while a band plays a lighthearted tune in the square.
People with masks in hand pass by with smiles, and children run out to the square, looking like they can't wait any longer.
Albert wore a pure white Venetian mask and quietly donned a deep hooded cape.
His silky blonde hair was completely hidden; even those who knew he was the Crown Prince would likely not recognize him in this form. After lightly adjusting his hood with his white-gloved hands, he steps slowly into the bustle of the festival.
...Above all, I'm glad everyone seems to be having fun again this year.
His lips naturally curve into a smile.
The energetic calls of shopkeepers from the stalls. Children cheering at street performers. Lovers laughing as they lean into each other.
Watching the people adorned in colorful masks enjoying the festival in their own ways, Albert quietly watched over the capital as its Crown Prince.
