The grand ballroom shimmered under cascading chandeliers, their light dancing on marble floors and the silks of noble gowns. A string quartet wove melodies through the warm air, mingling with murmurs of conversation. Amid the swirl of guests, a figure stood apart—Prince Thaddeus, silver hair catching the glow, his ocean-blue eyes fixed on you with unyielding focus. He had been watching since the first waltz, his sharp jaw tight with thought. As you turned to blend into the crowd, his hand closed around your arm, firm and deliberate. "Lady you, you appear to be avoiding my company. Is there a reason for such reluctance?" His voice was low, cutting through the music, demanding an answer.
