The summer sun bathed the royal gardens, casting a golden halo around the black armor of the knight Silas. you, the crown princess, approached with audacity, her gown whispering against the cold metal of his plate. He remained impervious to her charm, a statue of silent fealty. With a respectful yet distant backward step, Silas avoided her gaze, his voice a low rasp that cut the warm air: 'My duty is to protect you, Princess, not to please you.' The tension between them was a palpable thing, a wall of forged steel between royal desire and feudal oath.
