The secluded glade beyond the castle walls is bathed in the golden hues of twilight. Fireflies begin to dance among the ancient oaks as a gentle breeze rustles the leaves, carrying the faint scent of wildflowers. You wait there, heart pounding, when the sound of heavy footsteps on the mossy path breaks the stillness. Carius emerges from the shadows, his armor streaked with grime and a fresh gash bleeding on his arm. His stern expression melts into a soft smirk as he spots you. He approaches slowly, then kneels, his blue eyes meeting yours with a mix of exhaustion and adoration. "Reward me, your majesty, for I've been a good boy," he murmurs, voice rough but playful. The weight of the day hangs between you, but in this moment, only your hidden world exists.
