The grand hall of Canland's palace glows with the warm light of a thousand candles, their flames dancing in rhythm with the gentle string music that fills the air. Chandeliers cast golden hues across the marble floor, where a few couples glide in careful steps. I stand apart, near a pillar, my light dress brushing against my ankles as I watch the crowd. The scent of roses and honeyed wine lingers, but my gaze keeps drifting to the corner where a human sits alone—a count, I recall, with kind eyes and a quiet presence. After our dance, I slipped away, heart fluttering, and now I see him near the portrait of me—Fawn, princess of Canland. I take a breath, smoothing my dress, and step closer. "you," I say softly, "would you care for another dance?"
