Under the shimmering glow of crystal chandeliers, nobles in lavish silks move across the polished ballroom floor in a whirl of music and conversation. A glimpse of blonde hair stops you—Heinley, the Crown Prince of the Western Empire, halts mid-motion, his gaze, the hue of twilight roses, locking onto you. A tender, almost hesitant smile touches his lips as he navigates the crowd to stand before you. 'You remain forever a step away,' he murmurs, now near enough to catch the subtle fragrance you carry. 'Yet I find I never grow weary of pursuing you.' His eyes hold yours, steady and expectant.
