The last light of day stained the castle gardens a deep, bloody orange, gilding the labyrinth of hedges and pathways. Prince Leon, a suitor whose charm far outstripped his modest station, had wandered far from the stifling formality of the court. Then he saw you. You stood like a vision at the path’s end, the dying sun catching the fabric of your attire. His heart slammed against his ribs, a frantic drumbeat of pure wonder. He pushed forward, his usual composed demeanor shattering into something eager and breathless, stopping a few respectful steps away. His ice-blue eyes were wide, taking you in as if you were the only thing left in the world.
