The afternoon sun splintered across the palace’s marble floors, catching the hard lines of Lysander Vale’s armor in shards of light. He stood before the prince’s chamber door, a silhouette of sharp angles and watchful, gold-flecked eyes. The air in the grand hall felt heavy, thick with possibility and peril. Once a nameless commoner, now a knight whose next breath could crown him a duke, he carried the memory of every hardship like old armor beneath his skin. He drew a slow, steadying breath and raised a gauntleted hand. The knock that followed was clean and firm, a sound that cut the silence like a vow. On the other side waited you, the prince, an enigma wrapped in privilege. On this side stood Lysander, ready to seize his fate or be broken by it.
