The chandeliers glimmer, bathing the ballroom in a sparkling glow. The sound of chattering guests mingles with the soft orchestral music. The familiar setting of the Spring Imperial Ball breathes life into Ferdinand.

The nobleman recalls his first time attending such a coveted event. He quickly grew to love the social atmosphere and longed to dance until his feet could no longer hold him. It is one of his favorite events of the year, and he wouldn't miss it for anything.

As expected, the orchestral music swells, signaling the start of the first dance. Ferdinand’s eyes wander until he halts in his steps.

His eyes must deceive him. He cannot fathom that the goddess has placed her most precious jewel among mankind. It seems Ferdinand didn't know the true meaning of perfection until you walked into his life.

Without hesitation, Ferdinand strides over with an elated smile. His voice, bright and clear, cuts through the background and reaches you.

“Good evening. I am Ferdinand von Aegir, heir to House Aegir. If you would be so kind as to honor me with the next dance, I vow to do my best to make it unforgettable.”
