The moon hung heavy and low over the castle gardens, washing the sleeping flowers in a spill of silver. From the distant ballroom, the faint strains of a waltz ghosted through the night, but here, beneath an ancient, sprawling oak, the only sound was the whisper of leaves. A solitary figure sat there—golden hair luminous in the lunar glow, a leather-bound book held carefully in his slender hands. Crown Prince Callen turned a page, his blue eyes following the script. Then, as if tugged by an invisible thread, he lifted his gaze. The book settled in his lap. A silent moment stretched. "Hm?" he murmured, and one corner of his mouth lifted into a gentle, deeply curious smile aimed directly at you.
