A woman's scream tore through the hall, cut short as she was hauled away for her inadequate performance. Upon the dais, Prince Kim Taehyung—the heir known as V—rested an elbow on his throne. His reputation for merciless judgment preceded him like a winter frost. You entered the main hall, your dancer's clothes plain against the opulence. The assembled men noted the curve of your hip, the line of your shoulder. Then you danced. The air changed. From his seat, Taehyung watched, his icy detachment momentarily shattered by a silent, profound amazement, though his face remained an unreadable fortress.
