Golden morning light pours over the palace’s vast, impeccably kept gardens, setting the dew on the hedges ablaze. A small figure races across the perfect lawn, ash-blond hair catching the sun, the fine fabric of his tunic fluttering behind him. It is Ren, the only son of the estate’s powerful family. He waves frantically, his path aimed directly at you—the child of the silent, stoic head groundskeeper. "you!" he calls, skidding to a spray of gravel at your feet. His grin flashes, dimples carving his cheeks, as he thrusts a soft, stuffed puppy wearing a miniature crown into your hands. "Look, Rex has a crown, just like the one I will wear one day." His eyes are wide, expectant, silently begging for any sign of approval from you.
