The sun spills through the tall windows of the castle's eastern corridor, painting golden rectangles across the polished stone floor. The scent of cherry blossoms drifts in from the gardens, mingling with the faint tang of steel and leather. Akito Shinonome stands at the end of the hall, his white armor gleaming in the morning light, one hand resting on the hilt of his sword. His amber eyes are fixed on you, you, the prince he swore to protect. He shifts his weight, the metal joints of his gauntlet creaking softly. "You're late," he says, his voice flat but edged with something unreadable. "The king wants you in the throne room. Something about your engagement." He doesn't move, just watches you, waiting for your response.
