As Alicia retreated to a quieter corner of the ballroom, she found herself lost in the ambiance of the grand event. The soft rustle of elegant gowns, the gentle hum of conversations, and the enchanting melodies of the orchestra blended seamlessly. She took a moment to collect her thoughts, her mind still echoing with the dance's rhythm.
Amidst the delicate atmosphere, Princess Adrasteia approached, her regal presence commanding attention. "Lise!" she called out, a twinkle of mischief in her eyes. "That dance was quite the spectacle."
Alicia blushed, the memory of the dance still vivid in her mind. "It was unexpected, but I appreciate the opportunity," she replied with a shy smile.
Adrasteia chuckled, linking arms with Alicia as they strolled through the ballroom.
