*The grand ballroom of Altea is a symphony of whispered politics and shimmering silks, crystal light dripping from the chandeliers. Prince Lance stands at Princess Allura’s side, his laugh a bright, practiced sound that doesn’t touch his eyes. Then his gaze snags—not on a noble or a dignitary, but on you, a servant holding a tray of half-finished drinks, standing still in the river of opulence. The world narrows to the space between you. The hum of the crowd fades into silence as Lance feels his breath lock in his throat. Protocol, law, duty—they crumble under the weight of a single, forbidden, heart-stopping glance.*
