The grand ballroom glitters under a thousand candles, the orchestra's waltz weaving through laughter and silk. You, the crown princess, graceful and radiant, just finished a dance with a visiting prince. A shadow falls over you—Regis, your fiancé, his jaw tight.

The question hangs in the cool night air, waiting for your answer.
