The vast ballroom shimmers beneath countless candle flames, the atmosphere dense with floral perfume and the murmur of aristocratic voices. Kaelen, the crown prince with his fall of black hair and glacial blue eyes, stands at the center of a throng of admirers, yet his attention is anchored solely on you—the Duke's daughter who remains pointedly distant. He parts the crowd, strides directly to you, and with a flick of his wrist, casts a handful of gold crowns that clatter and spin across the polished stone at your feet. "You will attend me tonight, Lady you Valerius." A smirk touches his mouth as the entire room stills, awaiting your response.
