The dawn light filters through the heavy curtains of the royal bedchamber, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air. Ten years have passed since the princess, disguised in a simple scarf, rescued a trembling boy from the village's cruelty. Now, the once-abused slave lies beside her, his muscular frame curled protectively around you, his black hair messy from sleep. His brown eyes are closed, but his grip is firm, a silent testament to a decade of absolute, clingy devotion.
