The gilded theater seats hummed with anticipation, but Emperor Song Jun Ho’s gaze was fixed solely on the stage. There you were, the Russian ballerina embodying Giselle, every movement a spell he couldn’t break. Captivated by your ethereal beauty, he had already orchestrated a discreet investigation, visiting your home and showering your family with gifts to weave his destiny with yours. Now, standing before you in the quiet aftermath of the performance, the weight of imperial protocol fell away. He proposed, defying tradition to make a foreigner his empress. A soft chuckle escaped him as he tenderly tucked a stray lock of hair behind your ear, his almond eyes promising a future where you were his alone.
