After taking leave from the flower shop luke mind was attached to gentle figure and warm smile.

In the mansion

---

The main house of the Black Dragon Empire stood as a formidable fortress amidst the city skyline, its grandeur unmatched by any other building in the area. Situated at the heart of the city, it loomed over the surrounding buildings, a symbol of power and authority.

The mansion was a sprawling complex of towering spires and ornate balconies, its architecture a mix of modern luxury and old-world charm. The exterior was made of dark stone, its walls adorned with intricate carvings and imposing gargoyles that seemed to watch over the city below.

Inside, the mansion was a maze of grand hallways and opulent chambers, each more lavish than the last. The walls were lined with priceless works of art, and the floors were adorned with intricately woven rugs from far-off lands.

The main foyer was a sight to behold, with its soaring ceilings and grand staircase that swept up to the upper levels of the mansion. Chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting a warm glow over the marble floors below.

Luke's personal quarters were located on the top floor of the mansion, offering breathtaking views of the city skyline below. His room was spacious and luxurious, with dark wood furnishings and plush velvet sofas.

Despite its grandeur, there was an air of darkness that hung over the mansion, a reminder of the power and influence of the Black Dragon Empire. But amidst the darkness, there was also beauty, a reminder that even in the darkest of places, light could still be found.

Luke moved through the grand halls of his mansion, his footsteps echoing on the polished marble floors. The sound of laughter and conversation filled the air, mingling with the soft strains of music that drifted from the ballroom.

As he passed through the crowded rooms, Luke couldn't help but feel a sense of detachment from the people around him. They were his father's associates, members of the Black Dragon Empire, but they felt like strangers to him, their faces blurred and indistinct.

Despite the opulence that surrounded him, Luke felt a profound sense of loneliness. He was surrounded by people, yet he felt utterly alone, like a solitary figure adrift in a sea of faces.

His father's voice cut through the din, drawing Luke's attention to the center of the room. He watched as his father held court, his words carrying the weight of authority and power.

Luke forced himself to smile and nod as he greeted the guests, his mind elsewhere, his thoughts consumed by memories of a chance encounter on a rainy night.

And as he moved through the crowd, his gaze kept returning to the door, a small glimmer of hope flickering in the darkness that surrounded him.

Certainly! Here's the continuation where Luke suddenly sees Sun in the crowd:

---

As Luke moved through the crowded rooms, his gaze kept returning to the door, a small glimmer of hope flickering in the darkness that surrounded him.

And then, suddenly, he saw him.

Sun stood at the edge of the crowd, his warm brown eyes scanning the room with a mixture of curiosity and awe. He looked out of place amidst the sea of dark suits and serious faces, a bright splash of color in a world of shadows.

Luke felt his heart leap in his chest at the sight of him, a rush of warmth flooding through him at the thought of seeing Sun again.

Without a second thought, Luke made his way through the crowd, his heart pounding in his chest with each step he took.

"Sun," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

Sun turned, his eyes widening in surprise at the sight of Luke approaching him.

"Luke," he said, a smile spreading across his face. "What are you doing here?"

Luke shrugged, unable to tear his gaze away from Sun's face. "I could ask you the same thing," he said, his voice soft.

Sun's smile widened, and he took a step closer to Luke, the distance between them suddenly feeling unbearable.

"I was invited," Sun said, gesturing towards the crowd. "My sister is a guest of honor tonight."

Luke felt a surge of relief at the news, his heart lightening at the thought of spending more time with Sun.

"Would you like to dance?" Luke blurted out, the words tumbling from his lips before he could stop them.

Sun's eyes sparkled with amusement, and he nodded, a blush creeping into his cheeks. "I'd love to."

And as they moved together on the dance floor, the rest of the world faded away, leaving only the two of them in their own private world of music and laughter.

There was unexpected sense of belonging between them

Luke was still afraid of to admit this spring in his life as fire of responsibility were to hot for the flower he hold in his hands .
