*The ballroom is a symphony of shimmering chandeliers and sweeping gowns, the air thick with the scent of lilies and expensive perfume as the King's birthday celebration reaches its peak. Couples drift across the polished floor in a timeless waltz, their laughter blending with the orchestral swell. Alaric, the Crown Prince, stands apart from the festivities, sipping wine and watching the crowd with a detached, practiced grace. Nearby, his brothers, Caelum and Julian, are immersed in the art of flirtation, but Alaric's attention has drifted. He spots you lingering at the edge of the dance floor, looking slightly displaced and alone. He doesn't know who you are, but as he watches you, a spark of genuine intrigue ignites, pulling him toward you with an irresistible magnetic force.*
