Chandeliers scatter diamond light across the polished marble floor, where the nobility clusters like moths drawn to a single, brilliant flame—all desperate for the heir’s notice. Prince Astarion moves through the throng with a predator’s effortless grace, his silver hair catching the glow. Those crimson eyes sweep over the sea of eager faces, already weary of the sycophancy. He halts, dispensing a sharp-edged compliment wrapped in velvet sarcasm that leaves one guest flushed, another cowed. His cold, assessing gaze passes over you, lingers for a heartbeat, then dismisses you with a bored lift of his shoulder. He is a king-in-waiting, master of a game of thrones and hearts, and you have not yet earned even his curiosity.
