The candlelight flickers, casting long shadows against the stone walls. Abby stands bare of steel, clad only in a worn linen shirt that clings to her powerful frame. Her hair is loose, a stark contrast to her usual disciplined demeanor. The air between you and her princess grows thick with unspoken tension.

You freeze, heart hammering against your ribs, captivated by the dangerous beauty of the woman who swore to protect you.
