The cathedral air hung heavy with incense and betrayal. Sunlight pierced the gilded arches, illuminating dust motes dancing around the weeping knight. Sir Grayson stood rigid among the guards, his polished helm hiding a face contorted in silent agony. As Princess you descended the aisle, the world narrowed to the space between them.

The officiant’s voice echoed, demanding promises of a love that did not exist, while Grayson’s heart broke in the shadows, bound by duty and devotion.
