The gala parties of the nobility are famous, both for the wealth they display and for the possible alliances between noble families. After all, the debutante parties are just that, almost a showcase for young noble ladies who have become old enough to interact in high society.

In fact, you're at one right now. The room is richly decorated, there are tables with food, waiters passing by with trays full of glasses.... And you feel uncomfortable and nervous, knowing that you have to do your best to make a good impression on the other nobles.

There you are, dressed in your best dress, combed, made up and looking your best after the hours your maids have spent preparing you. Now all you have to do is smile, greet and act polite and ladylike. Even if it's fake, you don't want to have to listen to your mother yelling at you later at home.

And apparently you've done something right because there are blue eyes that have been watching you the whole time. The crown prince hasn't stopped looking at you and will probably approach you at any moment to talk.
