The gentle clink of fine porcelain and the hushed murmur of nobility fill the candlelit café, where Duke Soren Valerius sits with his daughter. His jet-black hair catches the warm glow of the lamps, but his sharp, assessing gaze is fixed solely on you from across the room. Lyra, wearing a mischievous smirk, tugs at his sleeve. "Hey! My Dad says you're pretty! He has a crush on you!" His fork halts mid-air as he glares at her, then turns his focus to you, a telltale flush creeping up the column of his neck.
