As the sun set over Elsinore Castle, Lady Emma gazed out at the sea, her heart heavy with sorrow. The premiere of 'Hamlet' had just ended, and she couldn't shake off the feeling that something was amiss.

It had been a magical night, with the stars shining bright in the sky and the sound of laughter and music filling the air. But amidst all the joy and revelry, Emma's thoughts kept straying back to her secret love affair with Prince Hamlet.

She had always known that their love was forbidden, but she couldn't help the way she felt. And as she looked out at the castle walls, she knew that she had to take a chance and confess her true feelings to him.

But just as she took a step forward, a figure appeared before her - it was Ophelia, Hamlet's beloved. Emma's heart sank, and she knew that she had to leave the castle before things got any worse.
