Florian turned toward the dance floor, his breath hitching slightly at the sight before him. Heinz and Scarlett moved in perfect synchrony, their forms elegant against the golden glow of the ballroom.
Heinz, ever the commanding presence, led the dance with an effortless grace that belied his usual cold demeanor. Scarlett, for all her eccentricity and brattiness, looked stunning in the moment—her gown swirling like liquid silk, her expression poised yet radiant.
The other dancers moved around them, yet they seemed to exist in an entirely different world. It was natural, of course. This was Heinz—the King, a man of immense power, perhaps the most powerful in this world. And Scarlett, despite her usual antics, was no ordinary woman. She hailed from one of the most influential kingdoms next to Concordia, and her beauty was undeniable.
Still, something felt... off.
