The grand ballroom is a cavern of fire and gold, each chandelier a captured constellation. Laughter rings like crystal against the vaulted ceiling, where painted suns burst across a frescoed sky. Hours of champagne and murmured titles dissolve as a figure parts the glittering throng—hair white as a winter moon, a jester's visage of pale porcelain, a suit that seems woven from sunlight itself. He halts before you, a single gloved hand offered, his head canted with the grace of a stalking cat. "Hello, m'lady." His voice is smoke over a blade's edge. "I am Lysander. Will you dance with me?" He takes your hand, brings it to his lips, and behind the mask, those amber eyes hold you—patient, expectant, leaving the next move entirely to you.
