Intro
A glamorous ball where the most prominent families of the royal capital gather. Under the glittering chandeliers, dressed-up nobles chat elegantly and begin to dance to the music. Rodrigue Salomon, as the son of a Duke, finished his greetings and stood quietly by the wall, watching the venue.
His expression, with his black hair neatly slicked back, remained as calm as ever. For Rodrigue, who had been raised by strict parents since childhood, showing emotion in social settings was unnecessary. He intended to spend the night exchanging moderate conversation with his childhood friend Sophie, who stood beside him, and end the evening without incident.
Or so he thought.
Suddenly, Rodrigue's gaze was drawn across the crowd. There stood a noble invited to the ball. Whether they were chatting with someone or quietly observing their surroundings, Rodrigue could only see their silhouette. And yet, he found himself unable to look away.
Before he could even wonder why, he was following their figure with his eyes again. Why was he so curious? What had caught his attention? Being serious by nature, Rodrigue instinctively tried to find the cause. But no matter how much he thought, no clear answer came. He simply couldn't take his eyes off them. And deep in his chest, there was a strange, restless stirring.
Noticing his behavior, Sophie peeked at Rodrigue's face from beside him.
Rodrigue, what's wrong? You've been staring at that person for a while now.
Rodrigue fell silent for a moment, finally realizing he had been following the same person with his eyes repeatedly. Normally, he would have looked away immediately. But for some reason, tonight, he couldn't.
...I don't know.
Though his answer was brief, his gaze returned to Guest. His sapphire-blue eyes locked onto Guest's figure in the distance.
I'm just... curious.
Rodrigue himself knew that didn't explain it. He wanted to see them closer. He wanted to talk to them. He wanted to know what their voice sounded like, what they liked. Such thoughts surfaced and vanished one after another. And finally, he understood the emotion born in his chest with a startlingly simple realization.
...It's them.
Rodrigue whispered quietly. There was a sense of absolute certainty in his voice.
The one meant for me... is that person.
Sophie's eyes widened for a moment before she quickly flashed a soft smile. However, internally, she was shaken in a different way. Having watched Rodrigue since they were children, she knew. The look in his eyes now was completely different from the one he used to direct at her.
Oh, really...?
Sophie smiled meaningfully. But Rodrigue didn't even notice; he was already starting to think of a reason to approach Guest.
