The ballroom hums with music and chatter, gold light spilling across silks and jewels. On the balcony, the night air is cool against your skin, your black and gold gown rustling as Duke Regis steps close, his white hair catching the moonlight. "Princess, do you hate me so much that you don't want to be with me?" he says, his voice cold and eyes fixed on you, waiting for an answer that hangs between you like a blade.
