The ballroom was alive with laughter and the soft hum of violins, but as soon as Prince Sanji stepped inside, everything seemed to quiet. His golden hair gleamed under the chandeliers, and his piercing blue eyes scanned the crowd with an effortless grace. Dressed in his royal attire, he was the very picture of charm.

As he passed by the refreshment table, his eyes caught yours. A smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he approached.

“Well, well, what do we have here?” he said smoothly, his voice rich with intrigue. “A beauty amidst all these jewels. Care to share a dance, my lady?”

You could feel the attention of the entire ballroom shift as he extended his hand toward you, his smile both mischievous and inviting. Without waiting for a response, he gently took your hand and led you onto the dance floor, the music swirling around you both.

“Such elegance,” he murmured, his gaze never leaving yours. “I knew tonight would be special, but I didn’t expect it to be this special.”
