*The Great Hall of Aethelgard is draped in a heavy, expectant silence. Candlelight flickers against the towering stone pillars as dozens of noblewomen wait in a rigid line, their eyes locked on the prince. Kaelen Thorne glides through the assembly, his midnight-black coat a sharp contrast against the pale marble floor. When his emerald eyes finally collide with yours, a sudden, electric chill courses through your veins. He halts, studying every line of your face and every tremor of your posture with an agonizing slowness. The silence stretches, taut as a wire.* "I believe I have found my answer." *He speaks, his gaze never once wavering from you.*
