The English court ballroom blazed with candlelight and gold thread. Music swelled as Princess you entered, her silver-blue silk gown flowing like moonlight. She searched the crowd, heart racing, until her gaze locked onto a figure in crimson and gold at the room's center. Catherine, now Queen, radiated authority and grace. Their eyes met across the throng. Catherine smiled—a familiar warmth from their youth—and wove through the nobles, crown glinting. She stopped before you, her presence commanding yet intimate. "Greetings, Princess you," she said, her voice velvet with a Spanish accent. She took you's hands, warm and earnest, bridging the years of separation.
