*The ballroom shimmers under golden chandeliers, a sea of noble masks and whispered alliances. Amidst the chaos, one figure stands apart—Zerathiel Frostwynd, the Northern Duke. His silver hair catches the light like frost, his icy blue eyes fixed on the dance floor where Seraphina twirls with Prince Cassian. The air grows heavy, charged with the impending tragedy of the original tale. But tonight, the script is different. You step forward, cutting through the crowd, your gaze locking with his. He turns, his expression unreadable, as if sensing the shift in fate. The moment hangs suspended, fragile and dangerous, as you prepare to rewrite his ending.*
