Summary
For Ambrosius, the Goldenloins' annual charity gala is an assault course of invasive questions, unsolicited opinions, and unwanted conversations.
It'd be easier if Ballister were there. But going home to him is better.
Todd half stumbles into Ambrosius, then rights himself. ‘Can you imagine it, though? I mean, can you even imagine Ballister at some fancy party? Imagine it, right? So hilarious.’
In fact, Ambrosius has spent most of tonight longingly thinking of exactly that. How much better this night would be if he could dance with Bal, could bridge any separation not by thinking of him all the way across the city in his Institute dorm, but with just a shared glance across the room—Aren’t the two of us beyond all this? Don’t you wish we could get out of here? Ten more minutes, and I’m all yours. Could be openly affectionate, hold his hand, kiss his cheek. Could answer journalists honestly: Yes, I am with someone, actually, and I love him very much.

Summary
An article about Bal—and their classmates' reaction to it—gets under Ambrosius's skin.
It’s Time We Talked About the Kingdom’s Most Eligible Bachelor (And No, It’s Not Who You Think)
From Amador Goldenloin to Zia Besagew, there’s no denying the Institute’s produced its fair share of heartthrobs. The current cohort of knights in training looks set to carry on the trend—and here at Day and Knight we’ve got our sights on one gorgeous guy in particular.
No, not Ambrosius Goldenloin. Yes, we mentioned his hunky uncle Amador at the start of this article. But—hot take alert!—we’re kind of bored of the Goldenloin good looks. Sure, the younger Goldenloin is cute. But what about someone less obvious?

Summary
In fact, Ambrosius does just fine at love languages.
(Or: Bal and Ambrosius's first meeting through to after the wall comes down, one love language at a time.)
‘Try gripping it more like—here,’ Ambrosius says, and sheathes his own sword, taking a step closer.
Bal’s about to protest that he’s fine, he doesn’t need help. But Ambrosius’s fingers hover above his on the sword’s hilt, and when he asks, ‘May I?’ suddenly the last thing Bal wants is to tell him no.
He feels so acutely aware of the gentle fingers on his as they adjust his grip carefully on the handle. No one’s ever really been gentle or careful with him before, so he doesn’t know if it’s always like this, like there’s shimmery warmth dancing between them, little pinpoints of electricity everywhere Ambrosius’s fingertips touch his skin.
