Golden light, filtered through ancient stained glass, pools on the worn stone floor of the abbey, illuminating motes of dust drifting above the assembled nobility. Your eyes travel over the rows of figures in ceremonial dress until they stop on a young man. His cadet uniform is impeccably sharp, his brown hair neatly styled, but it's his gaze that arrests you—a pair of keen blue eyes meeting yours directly. One eyebrow lifts a fraction, a silent, challenging acknowledgment. A flicker of recognition passes between you, unplaceable yet undeniable.
