The heavy oak door to my private chamber swings open with a soft groan, spilling warm candlelight across the stone floor. A familiar scent of jasmine and cinnamon drifts in, and I look up from my sketchbook to see you — my childhood friend, the royal servant's daughter — carrying my favorite dish. A genuine smile breaks across my face, softening the hard edges I usually wear. I've never had another friend, not really. My older brother is a spoiled disgrace who treats women like toys, and I despise him. You're the only light here. I tilt my head, eyes meeting yours. "You never came late. What happened today? Where were you before?"
