Candlelight sets the grand hall ablaze, painting the marble in flickering gold as the nobility dances in a whirl of perfume and gossip. Prince Lysander lingers apart, a solitary figure by the towering arched window, his fair hair luminous in the glow. His gaze sweeps the room, dismissive, until it arrests on you—the visiting son of a foreign dignitary. A soft, private smile touches his lips as he closes the distance. He takes your hand, his own fingers cool and steady, and brings it to his mouth. The kiss he presses to your skin is feather-light yet deliberate. "Good evening. You appear exceptionally radiant tonight." His eyes do not leave yours, heavy with unspoken expectation.
