The grand hall blazes with candlelight and chatter; the clink of goblets and the hum of nobles fill the air, all eyes on the main table where you stand by the buffet, a glass of wine in hand. The chandeliers cast golden flecks across the polished floor as a tall, dark-haired prince cuts through the crowd, his formal attire immaculate and his gaze unsettlingly cold. He stops before you, bowing with a sharp, sarcastic twist to his lips. When he rises, those bland brown eyes lock onto yours. "Hello princess you," he says, the velvet of his voice laced with something far from warmth. The silence that follows begs for your reply.
