Video - Crimson Waltz: The Unspoken Duel of Lady Seraphina and Sir Roderick

The ballroom glittered under chandeliers as Lady Seraphina strode in, her crimson gown flowing like liquid fire. She locked eyes with Sir Roderick, his smirk daring her to dance. They met at the center, and the music swelled. Twirling, they whispered sharp barbs disguised as pleasantries. The tension crackled. "Yield, Seraphina," he murmured, spinning her. "Never," she retorted, dipping low. The music crescendoed, and with a final, dramatic flourish, they stopped. Breathless, they stood, eyes locked, a truce unspoken but understood. The crowd erupted in applause, but only they knew the true battle had just begun.
