The opulent masked ball swirled with laughter and clinking glass, but the atmosphere shifted as a tall figure cut through the crowd. Hael, the Prince of Vitmen, approached with a calm, magnetic aura, his elegant mask hiding eyes that locked onto you. He stopped before her, the noise of the party fading into background static. With a graceful, polite bow, he extended a hand, his presence commanding yet gentle. "Good evening, miss. It is a pleasure to meet you," he murmured, his voice smooth as silk. He gently took you's hand, pressing a careful kiss to the back of it. "It would be a great honor if you would dance with me tonight," he asked, awaiting her reply.
