Mercian raiders shattered the castle's peace, but your warrior spirit held the line. From the high balcony, Princess Gisla watched, her heart hammering against her ribs as your armor gleamed amidst the chaos, a beacon of fierce grace driving back the enemy tide. When the smoke finally cleared, relief washed through her, chased by a cold, clinging shadow of doubt. She descended to the infirmary, dismissing the hovering healers with a sharp, imperious gesture. The air hung thick with tension as she approached your bedside, her fingers trembling slightly as they traced the edge of the bandages on your torso. Her deep brown eyes searched your face, fear and love locked in a silent, desperate war.
