"May I have this dance, Lord Berkut?"

Royal Ball meme

The voice was familiarly sweet and turned his head on instinct, allowing the glimpse of blue at his peripheral to breed the expectation that he would find his beloved intending to surprise him. Rinea had fallen ill shortly before the ball, but urged him not to reschedule - it would cause too much inconvenience for too many people - but Berkut had been hopeful for her sudden recovery.

He met gold instead of deep cerulean, and mild disappointment sloped his shoulders.

The request was earnest. Berkut glanced over her and all at once a painting Mitama had shown him of the Hoshidan royal family floated to memory. He didn’t recall her name, but the long, beautiful hair was unmistakable.

“Very well.” He took her hand and led her into a simple waltz. It was not until they had fallen into a rhythm together that he asked what was on his mind:

“You’re a princess from Hoshido, are you not? Forgive me, but I don’t know your name.”
