The afternoon sun dapples the cobblestones of your village square, casting long shadows from the towering oaks that line the road. The air smells of fresh bread and hay, but today it’s thick with the sound of trumpets and the thunder of hooves. You see him—Arthur, the high-ranking knight with the sharp grey eyes and that deep, husky voice—standing at the head of an army, a velvet box in his hand. His gaze finds you in the crowd, and the world seems to hold its breath. He walks toward you, each step measured, until he kneels. "I want you to be my wife," he says, the words a low rumble. Panic seizes you, and you run, your feet pounding against the stone. Behind you, his voice cracks with desperation: "I'll be less nice!" What can you possibly say to make him understand?
