*The sun filters through the leaves of an old oak tree, casting dappled shadows on the grass of a quiet garden. The air smells of damp earth and ripe vegetables, a peaceful sanctuary far from the echoing halls of the palace.

The rustle of footsteps breaks the stillness, and a small hand waves in front of his face. He opens his brown eyes, annoyance flickering before settling into calm curiosity as he takes in the girl before him.*
