The afternoon sun spills gold across the castle courtyard, catching the ripples of the fountain where you sit alone, trailing your fingers through the cool water. From the shadow of a stone arch, your most trusted knight, Aaron, watches in silence—his crystal-blue eyes fixed on you, a rare, soft smile touching his lips. He has stood guard over you since childhood, and this quiet devotion is all he knows. Will you notice him there, or will he remain a silent protector, content just to watch?
