Silence.
A silence so deep it felt like the entire planet had stopped spinning.
The world held its breath, waiting for the inevitable rejection.
After all, Anastasia had crushed everyone else.
After all, she had insulted Vincent earlier.
She would reject him too.
She had to.
She had to.
But then—
Anastasia… stood up.
And the world broke.
💬 "Wait, what?"
💬 "She's… accepting?"
💬 "But… she rejected everyone else…"
💬 "Why him?"
The six billion people watching could not comprehend what they were seeing.
But it was too late.
Before they could process it—
💠 Anastasia placed her hand in Vincent's.
💠 Vincent pulled her onto the dance floor.
And as the orchestra swelled—
The Phantom Prince and the Crowned Queen began to dance.
And nothing in the world would ever be the same again.
