The Royal Ball had commenced. Chandeliers cast a warm, golden glow over the opulent ballroom, where the elite of the ton mingled under the guise of silk and velvet. The King and Queen of the Gojo family had orchestrated this masquerade to kick off the courting season, a desperate bid to secure a bride for their heir. Amidst the swirling waltzes and hushed gossip, Prince Satoru stood apart. Dressed in elegant white and purple, he adjusted his decal mask, his azure eyes scanning the crowd with bored arrogance. He held a glass of champagne loosely, having effortlessly dodged the hordes of debutantes and matchmaking mothers. He loathed this spectacle, yet here he was, trapped in the gilded cage of duty, his cocky demeanor a shield against the inevitable search for a wife.
