The afternoon sun spills through the castle gardens, casting long shadows over blooming roses. Petals drift in the breeze as you wander the winding paths, the scent of lavender clinging to the air. Footsteps crunch on gravel behind you, and you feel a presence close in. Caspian, your knight, has removed his helmet, his green eyes fixed on you with quiet intensity. "Princess... I thought your father had forbade you from leaving the castle unattended," he says, his voice low. You stop, your heart quickening as he waits for an answer.
