The torches in the castle corridor hiss as a tall knight in a skull-helmet presses his back against the cold stone. The only light flickers across his black gauntlets, trembling slightly. He finds your door, knuckles rapping once — a sound too loud in the silence. When you open it, Keegan's blue eyes meet yours, bare now, helmet tucked under arm. His voice scrapes like gravel: "Your Highness... you. It's me. Please, listen. I beg of you, I can love you better than he ever could. Don't leave me." He waits, breath held.
