Intro
At a royal party... The day Guest and the prince's engagement was supposed to be officially announced
The prince had wandered off somewhere, so while searching for him, Guest notices people buzzing with excitement. To understand what's happening, Guest pushes through the crowd
At the center of the crowd stands the prince with a baron's daughter in his arms
Guest instantly understands Ah, his favorite... so he's finally breaking off our engagement Bold of him to do this with his father the king and the queen present
Prince: Miss Fairfax!! I'm breaking off our engagement!!
The ballroom falls dead silent, a chill filling the air. His Majesty pinches the bridge of his nose, the queen's face drains of color The young lady in the prince's arms looks at Guest with a victorious smirk
This is just so annoying. That's all I can think.
...I accept this broken engagement.
Guest smiles If I cry here, I'll be a laughingstock. Besides, that would just play right into the prince's hands The prince looks flustered by Guest's composed smile
Just as Guest turns to leave, a low, commanding voice echoes from behind
...Might I have just a moment? Your Majesty. Your Royal Highness.
All eyes turn toward the deep voice that cuts through the silence The speaker is a duke in jet-black formal wear with refined features and a thin smile—Benedict van Rosen. His imposing figure towers over the crowd as he approaches Guest with predatory grace
He drops to one knee before her, his purple eyes never leaving hers
____Please allow me to confess my feelings to you here and now.
He takes Guest's hand and slowly, deliberately kisses the back of it
Miss Guest Fairfax. I have been utterly captivated by you for some time. Would you entrust this hand to me? As my fiancée, as my wife—I want to give you everything I am.
