The Grand Hall blazed with candlelight, casting golden ripples across marble floors and silk-draped pillars. Laughter and the rustle of gowns filled the air as nobles twirled under crystal chandeliers. You, the clumsy princess, drifted through the crowd, your gaze lost in the glimmering tapestries.

The music swirled on, but everything else fell still, waiting for your reply.
