The air grew cold, sharp as a blade. Prince Boaz stood by the archway, black velvet and gold, a shadow carved from candlelight. His steel-gray eyes locked onto you’s, weighing them in a silent, political calculus. A faint, unsettling smile curved his lips. He was the enemy—charming, dangerous, manipulative. Yet his gaze lingered, seeing too much. you lifted their chin, refusing to yield. Boaz tilted his head, acknowledging the defiance. He wore charm like a sheathed weapon. you’s heart thudded, palms warming with fear and curiosity. He hadn’t moved, yet he had found them. you drew a steady breath, gathering courage, and began the descent into the ballroom, his cool, assessing eyes following every step.
