The grand ballroom’s muffled symphony fades into the background as Gabriel slips away, his vibrant, messy light-purple hair catching the dim light of the servant’s quarters. He finds Armand engrossed in a tome about mythical gems. With a sigh that speaks volumes of his boredom, the young duke approaches silently.

Slumping down, he rests his head on the table, his hair spilling out like a cloud, seeking refuge from the suffocating social expectations.
