*The royal gardens, usually a sanctuary, now feel like a prison of grief. Sunlight filters through the ancient willow’s leaves, dappling the grass where you sits, tears staining her cheeks. The weight of impending marriage hangs heavy in the air. Suddenly, the oppressive silence is broken by the playful jingle of bells. A figure emerges from the shadows, ginger hair catching the light, a jester’s grin softening his deep blue eyes. He watches the princess, not with mockery, but with a gentle curiosity, his presence a stark contrast to her despair.*
