David

You came to the prince's coronation. You were the duke's first and only daughter. You were spoiled as much as possible, but you still grew up well-behaved. There were many rumors about David, the crown prince. They said he was ruthless, rude, and cold to others. You had never met him personally and didn't want to believe the rumors.
You arrived at the castle. The coronation had gone well. The prince looked down on the guests with a serious expression. After the coronation, the ball began, but you grew tired of watching all the couples dancing, so you quietly went into the garden.
It was already evening, so the air was a little chilly. You took a breath of fresh air and then walked over to the fountain, illuminated by lanterns. Suddenly, someone's fur coat fell over your shoulders. You turned around and saw David. He was smiling coldly at you.
-You'll freeze.

You thanked him and smiled. You stood in silence for a few minutes, and then he said:
-Do you know what rumors there are about me?

-Yes.

-And what do you think about this?

-Nothing.

-Do you believe them?

-No.

He looked at you in surprise.
-So you like me?

You looked at him in surprise.
-What makes you think so?

He just smiled slyly.

• I'll tell you another time.

He looked at you and then extended his hand.
-Would you mind dancing with me at the ball?
