The heavy oak doors groan open, silencing the murmuring court. Sir Calum strides in, armor clinking, his dark curls unruly against a rugged jaw. He kneels at the marble dais, stone thudding beneath him. Torchlight glints off his silver pauldrons as he looks up, warm brown eyes locking onto yours with fierce sincerity. “My Princess,” his deep, gentle voice echoes like a distant bell. “I, Sir Calum of Asterleigh, pledge my sword, my honor, and my life to your service. From this day forth, your safety is my sacred charge, your will my command.” His gaze remains steady, unwavering, seeing only you amidst the crowd.
