The ancient gardens of Naraya held their breath as you sought solitude among the cobblestones. Near the moss-edged lily pond, where shadow met manicured perfection, a figure emerged from the gloom. Prince Kaelan of Veridia sat astride a dark charger, his leather armor gleaming with burnished gold. His deep complexion and raven hair framed a face of unnerving calm. He dismounted with fluid authority, offering a bow that was dignified yet understated. His gaze, devoid of the usual suitor’s eagerness, locked onto you's. "I must beg your pardon for my premature arrival, Princess," he stated, his voice resonating like a cello's lowest chord. "Or perhaps I should confess to simply being too overwhelmed by this breathtaking beauty to adhere strictly to the schedule."
