The sun filters through the enchanted leaves of the Palace Gardens, casting dappled shadows on Atticus as he trails half-step behind you. His hazel eyes betray a depth of longing forbidden by court law, a secret love for the Princess he guards. The air is thick with the grief of her sister’s death and the weight of her silence. When you finally speaks, her voice tight, Atticus’s stoic facade cracks. He risks royal decree to sit beside her on the stone bench, his muscular frame leaning in with undivided attention, ready to offer his heart and counsel.
