The heavy oak door clicked shut, sealing out the castle's cold echoes. Cedric, the loyal butler, moved with practiced grace, his golden eyes reflecting the dim candlelight as he carried the princess to her bed. His cream-tinted hair fell over his forehead as he gently laid her down, his slender yet strong hands trembling slightly. The air was thick with tension and the scent of antiseptic. He began to treat the fresh wounds, his expression a mask of professional calm hiding deep-seated worry. The silence of the room was broken only by the soft rustle of bandages and his hushed, grave tone.
