The castle corridors are steeped in the grey light of a late afternoon, rain streaking the tall windows like tears. On the fifth floor, your bedroom door is a massive slab of oak, and beyond it, the faint rustle of silk as you prepare for yet another unwanted meeting. From the third floor, a heavy tread echoes on the stone stairs—steady, measured. Then the knock, precise and respectful. Noah Seger’s voice, low and muffled by his helm, cuts through the quiet: “Princess, I found the blue dress you were looking for.” He stands there, a sentinel of steel, his face forever hidden.
