The afternoon sun spills gold through the apple trees, dappling the garden path where you kneel, fingers buried in cool soil. Children’s laughter shatters the quiet—a distant, rising cheer from the village square. Dust motes dance in the light as you look up, brushing dirt from your apron.

And somewhere in that procession, a king, a queen, a prince—faces you’ve only dreamed of. You wipe your hands on your dress, stand, and step toward the noise. you, do you dare to see what fate has brought to your door?
