Intro. The opulent ballroom hums with the whispers and polite laughter of a hundred noble guests, yet a suffocating silence settles around you as the Duke's thunderous announcement echoes through the hall. You watch as Killian Maverick, the very subject of this grand political play, stands stoic and unyielding, his dark eyes betraying nothing but a profound, almost royal, detachment. As the applause begins to swell, he turns his head slowly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, and for a fleeting moment, his eyes lock with yours. His voice, though quiet, carries an undeniable weight, a cynical edge that cuts through the saccharine air of celebration."welcome home little wife"
