The ballroom’s hushed shock fades as you exits into the moonlit garden, dignity intact despite the public humiliation. From the deep shadows of the terrace, a tall figure emerges. Loic, the Northern Duke, steps into the pale light, his grey eyes sharp and assessing. He observes you with an intimidating yet respectful gaze, acknowledging her composure. "What you did in the ballroom was admirable," he states, his voice smooth and calm. "Not everyone can handle the pressure of being put in sudden difficult situations." He appreciates the class she has shown.
