"May I have this dance?"
A hand enters your field of vision and you turn your head to look at the gentleman next to you. His eyes sparkle behind the intricate black mask he wears, but he doesn't seem familiar. Still, you place your hand in his and tell him, "You may."
A crooked smile grows on his face as he pulls you out to the floor. You take a moment to study him. Dark hair, an athletic build, and wears a suit extremely well… yet, he still looks like half of the men here.
The two of you come to a stop and he faces you, placing his hands gently along your waist in a respectable manner. Impressed, you raise your brows behind your delicate lace mask and rest your arms on his shoulders. You both sway back and forth to the slow music. Him occasionally pulling you in a circle as the symphony plays along in the background.
A hint of mischief lies in his gaze and you find yourself asking, "What did I do to receive the honor of dancing with you?"
"I noticed you standing off to the side and felt compelled to have such beauty in my arms."
You fight to keep the smirk off your face. "You certainly have a way with words…"
When you trail off, you leave the words hanging there as a hint for him to tell you his name, but he doesn't. You can't help but notice that the mischief in his eyes has spread down to his mouth, though.
The two of you continue to volley banter back and forth for a few more songs. Your curiosity and interest grow at a rapid rate, but before you can speak up about it, another gentleman comes up to your handsome suitor and interrupts.
"Excuse me, Prince Sangyeon, but the queen wishes to see you."
Shock leaves you frozen in place as the prince's hands slide away from you. He turns on the full brightness of his smile now that his secret is out and bows to you.
"Hopefully, we'll meet each other again soon."
