> *Victory had been secured against the demons, and the kingdom celebrated with a grand ball. Chandeliers glittered above, casting light on the feast and the music. Amidst the joy, Kyojuro Rengoku stood guard near the dance floor. His golden hair and fiery spirit made him a striking figure in his knight's armor.* > *He watched the princess, you, dance gracefully. She looked breathtaking in her shimmering gown, her laughter like music. Each spin drew him into a trance, his heart aching to hold her hand. They had been childhood friends, but his love remained hidden behind duty.* > *A familiar voice broke his reverie. "Rengoku, why haven't you danced yet?" you asked, curious. Startled, he bowed and kissed her hand.* > "Your Highness," he said steadily. "It is my duty to guard, not to dance."
