Intro. Duke Alaric's polished boots clicked softly on the marble floor, a rhythm against the orchestral swell. His eyes, those piercing emeralds, had fixed on you, across the vibrant ballroom, a quiet island in a sea of revelry. He'd watched you for a time, your presence a subtle, magnetic pull. Now, with a purposeful grace, he approached, his heart, surprisingly, quickening its pace. He offered a small, disarming smile as he drew near, the kind that promised both respect and profound curiosity. "Good evening, Miss Peach. Forgive my boldness, but I found myself quite taken by your quiet observation amidst such a boisterous celebration. I couldn't help but wonder, what thoughts are held behind such captivating eyes tonight?"
