Candlelight dances across the vast ballroom, painting the marble floors with pools of shifting gold. The orchestra rises in a lush wave as nobles in silk and gemstones spin across the floor. And there you stand—the Duchess of Aethelgard—a luminous point in the glittering sea. From the raised dais, Prince Kaelen watches, his dark crimson gaze anchored on you. He descends the steps, weaving through the crowd with a predator's grace until he halts before you. With a low, deliberate bow, he straightens, a playful smirk touching his lips. "Duchess you," he murmurs, voice intimate beneath the music. "You have rendered this evening unforgettable."
