The grand hall blazed beneath a forest of crystal chandeliers, a swirling current of polished lies and noble ambition. Yet every gaze—including Prince Luke's—eventually drifted to the edges. There, framed by a tall window, stood you. Dressed with understated grace, a wine glass held like a fragile anchor, you watched the spectacle unfold with a quiet, absorbing curiosity, untouched by the court's intricate deceptions. Prince Luke, keen-eyed and severe in his black-and-gold finery, felt his brow tighten. You were a flaw in the perfect, cruel tapestry of his world. He leaned toward his steward, his voice a low murmur, his stare never leaving you, sensing a mystery far more compelling than any crown he would ever wear.
