The crystal chandeliers floated midair in the grand ballroom of the Imperial Palace, their enchanted flames casting a warm golden glow upon the gathered magical nobility below.
Gossamer threads of magic wove through the air, carrying the sweet notes of the orchestra, where musicians played their instruments in perfect harmony.
On the dance floor, Veronica and Jaegar were coupled in a gentle, slow dance as he held Veronica's hips and she threw her arms around his neck.
"What were you talking with her highness?" Veronica said in a low tone, audible only to Jaegar.
"Nothing, I was just greeting the new member of the family," Jaegar answered, continuing to move with her in perfect sync to the melody.
"I will have to leave now; I must report back to the ministry."
"Oh, when will we meet again?"
"Only time will tell, I guess."
