Please remember who I am. Do not underestimate my strength.

Instead, he took a course of action that was both unexpected and deeply reassuring.Without a word, he guided me away from the prying eyes of the masquerade ball.

From our vantage point, we could still survey the entire hall, yet the cloak of darkness provided us with a semblance of privacy.Hridhan, ever the gentleman, pulled out a chair from a nearby table and gently urged me to sit.
