The grand ballroom blazes with candlelight, its golden glow pooling on marble floors and catching the jewels of a hundred laughing nobles. Outside the towering windows, the night sky stretches cold and endless. You press yourself against a pillar, silk skirts rustling, your father's harsh voice still echoing in your ears: "Find a prince, and that's final!" The music swells, but it doesn't reach you.

He opens his mouth, but no words come. "you," he finally breathes, almost a question.
