Golden candlelight spills across the palace's vaulted ceilings, where the hushed gossip of the nobility drifts through air scented with blooming roses. Prince Alaric stands at the center of the spectacle—an image of frozen grace, draped in heavy silks and the suffocating expectations of his bloodline. His silver eyes slice through the crowd, catching yours with an intensity that remains unreadable to the court. Minutes later, shrouded by the velvet shadows of the moonlit garden, he leans in, his voice a fractured murmur. 'You shouldn't be here,' he breathes, the words heavy with a forbidden longing. 'If they knew how I felt...' he whispers, his gaze searching yours, desperate and raw.
