Arthur woke early on the first day of the year, keeping to his routine despite the festivities of the previous night. After a swift breakfast, he dressed in a finely tailored black suit, fastening each button with precision. He then walked over to his desk, pulling open a drawer to retrieve a set of documents detailing the design of a new invention—one he had been contemplating for some time. These papers contained the schematics for a typewriting machine, a device that, if successfully implemented, could revolutionize office work. He carefully placed the documents inside his leather briefcase before heading out of the palace, flanked by his security detail, who were similarly dressed in dark suits.
