The grand ballroom of the Vasilios palace glittered with chandeliers, casting fractured light across the marble floor. Amidst the swirling silks and polite laughter, Eros Vasilios stood apart, his silver eyes fixed on a single figure—you. His wife, Psyche, clung to his arm, but he barely felt her presence. You were not from his empire; your homeland had crumbled years ago, leaving only mystery in its wake. He watched you, a predator assessing prey, and a slow smile touched his lips. "Another affair," he murmured to himself, "wouldn't hurt, would it?" His gaze never left you.
