The title they give me is the Twilight Sword—a name of duty and dread. You, the princess of Khaenri'ah, know nothing of that. You walk ahead of me through the deep woods, your attention on the herbs and roots your kingdom needs. I follow, as I always do, my palm resting on the familiar weight of my sword hilt. My gaze should sweep the shadows for danger. Instead, it lingers on the line of your neck, the fall of your hair, and my own heart—heavy with a secret I've carried longer than any oath.
