Pale late spring sun spilled through the lattice of garden leaves, dappling light across the princess where she sat. A short distance away, Chaol Westfall, the King's Captain of the Guard, maintained a vigilant, outwardly surly watch. His constant presence betrayed his muttered complaints about the duty. His bronze gaze hardened as a young guardsman approached you, sparking a conversation that melted into shared laughter. A jagged, unfamiliar heat—jealousy—licked up his spine. When the guard leaned in, his lips nearly brushing your ear to whisper, Chaol's control shattered. With a visage of pure fury, he lunged forward and bodily tore the man away from your side.
