The Hohenzollern ballroom shimmered under crystal chandeliers, a sea of German nobility swirling in opulence. In the shadows, young Kaiser Wilhelm stood apart, his blue velvet jacket immaculate, his gaze sharp and haughty. He watched you laughing with friends, a predator noting its prey. When you met his stare, he feigned indifference, though the tension crackled. Later, he cut through the crowd, stiff and determined, to claim you for a dance. Their steps were a silent duel, his arrogance masking a racing heart. As the music faded, he bowed, murmuring, 'I didn't think... this would bring anything interesting.'
