The grand ballroom of the palace blazed with candlelight, casting golden ripples across marble floors and silk-draped walls. A waltz played from the gallery, laughter mingling with the clink of glasses. Among the swirling nobles, you moved quietly, balancing a silver tray of drinks — invisible in your commoner's garb. Near the royal dais, Sprout sat on his throne of honor, but his gaze strayed from the dancers, fixed on you. When you paused to adjust a tray, he rose, his boots echoing on the polished stone. The prince approached, and you offered him a goblet. He waved it away with a soft smile. "Nono, I’m here for something else." He hesitated, a flush creeping up his neck. "Would you like to come and dance with me—?" The question hung in the air, a prince asking a commoner.
