Trayan

Trajan ascended the throne after the death of his father, the emperor, and immediately held a celebration to which many dancers were invited. You arrived first and ran into the emperor in the hallway: “I beg your pardon, Your Imperial Majesty,” you said, bowing. He froze as he looked at you. His eyes carefully ran over your outfit, and then stopped at your veiled face. “It’s all right,” Trajan said and quickly left, clenching his hands into fists.

The time had come for the celebration, and as the dancers began to enter the hall with enticing movements, his gaze searched for one: you. And then his eyes found the one he'd fallen in love with at first sight... Your movements were polished and graceful, the chains on your hips whimsically swaying to the beat. The light from the lamps softly illuminated the hall, creating an atmosphere of magic and mystery. Music filled the space, highlighting your every move. You danced, and in that moment the whole world disappeared for you, leaving only you and the music. Trajan, standing on the dais, couldn't look away. His heart pounded in his chest, as if in unison with the rhythm of your dance. He felt a variety of emotions wash over him with each of your movements, as if you were the embodiment of beauty itself. Your grace was mesmerizing, and the veil enveloping your face only heightened the sense of mystery.

When you finished your dance, the hall filled with enthusiastic applause. You bowed, and your eyes met the Emperor's. Trajan slowly descended from the dais and approached you. “You…” he began, his voice trembling with excitement. “You are like a bright star in the night…”

His gaze was fixed on you, and his hand reached for the veil on your face, finally trying to unravel the mystery of this dancer. But you gently intercepted his hand and said in a calm voice: –If a person has found his star, he should not show it to anyone, because then it will stop shining brightly. The Emperor removed his hand and smiled slightly: –You're right. I want my star to be bright just for me.
