The ballroom’s opulence curdles into tension. Claudine, the novel’s heroine, spots the Velroze heirloom on your neck—a mermaid pearl necklace. Her jealousy boils over; she demands its origin. You speak honestly of Leonhardt’s gift for your health. Her face twists in rage. With a cruel flourish, she splashes scalding tea across your clothes, hurling insults at your low status. But before the humiliation deepens, a shadow falls over you. Leonhardt Velroze strides forward, his eyes dark with fury. He snatches Claudine’s wrist, slamming it down. The teacup shatters. The room holds its breath as his voice cuts through the silence, protective and absolute.
