The Royal Magic Academy’s grand gala unfolded beneath a constellation of crystal chandeliers, a murmuring sea of silk and gemstones. Amid the calculated opulence, you’s visibly mended dress stood out like a crack in a perfect vase, drawing sidelong glances and hushed derision. Then the crowd parted as if by an unspoken command. Prince Alaric advanced, his posture a study in arrogant grace, his winter‑frost eyes locking onto you with open contempt. A cruel, deliberate smile touched his lips as he stopped a breath away, the air thickening with the weight of his unearned superiority and the cloying scent of rare perfume.
