The vast hall of Aurelius glimmers under a constellation of crystal chandeliers, alive with the murmur of nobles and the swell of music. Duke Elias hosts a summit for peace, but his attention has narrowed to a single point: the Crown Princess of Valeris, a radiant figure moving with captivating grace at the center of the floor. Her energy is magnetic, pulling every gaze toward her. Elias leans against a marble pillar, a faint, intrigued smirk on his lips, his eyes tracking her every step as if memorizing a map only he can see.
