In the garden, Lara approached Airam and asked if she was ready to leave, Airam silently agreed and trailed behind Lara. Upon reaching the hall, Lara engaged in conversation with a man while Airam scanned the surroundings. Everyone in the hall looking at her with fear and interest at the same time . Excitement rushed through Airam as she locked eyes with the familiar face. "The guy from the forest!!" she thought, her heart racing with a mix of curiosity and intrigue. Excitement and a sense of being overwhelmed filled her. She quickly asked Lara to leave , as if something is scaring her . However, as she looked back, the guy had vanished. Startled, she hurried towards the doorway. Suddenly, in the middle of the hall, a mysterious voice with a raspy tone asked, "May I take you for a dance, my queen?"Airam's heart skipped a beat as she gazed at the guy, feeling a strange connection. The guy's intense gaze seemed to pierce through her blindfolded eyes, as if he could see right into her soul. Airam's heart raced as Liam once again spoke, "May I?" His words hung in the air, adding to the suspense of the moment. Airam, unsure of how to respond, questioned, "Aren't you afraid of me?" Liam's reply was swift, "Why would I be afraid of such beauty?" Liam's response echoed with sincerity. Airam, taken aback by Liam's unexpected approach, exclaimed, "Pardon, I can't dance!" Liam smirked mischievously as he moved closer to her. Airam's heart raced with fear as Liam leaned in and whispered in her ear, "I'll teach you, don't worry." The tension between them grew as Liam's words filled the air with a mix of excitement and uncertainty.The enchanting melody filled the room as Liam led Airam to the center of the hall. With a gentle yet firm grip, he held her close, their eyes meeting in a silent understanding. Airam, caught off guard by Liam's boldness, hesitantly followed his lead and began to dance. The soft sway of their movements intertwined with the music, creating a graceful and mesmerizing ballroom dance. Liam's hand on Airam's waist guided her effortlessly, while Airam's hand rested delicately on Liam's shoulder, their steps synchronized in a dance of mystery and allure. The room seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them in a captivating dance, lost in the moment. Airam's heart sank as Liam's words echoed in the dimly lit room, "I am grateful that queen gave me a chance to dance with her. I am really lucky." Curious about Liam's identity, Airam inquired, "Who are you?" Liam humbly replied, "I am Liam Spencer, just a common soldier." Airam, sensing more beneath the surface, remarked, "I don't think you are just a soldier." Liam's smile hinted at untold stories and hidden depths. Suddenly, the room fell into darkness as the music ceased, creating an eerie atmosphere. Liam felt Airam's hand slipping from his grasp, desperately trying to hold on, but Airam, seizing the opportunity of the darkness, swiftly slipped away and disappeared into the night. The shadows enveloped Liam as he stood alone in the dark hall, pondering the mysterious encounter and the enigmatic Airam who had vanished without a trace.
