The forbidden forest is a cathedral of shadows, moonlight filtering through twisted branches like silver veins. You stumble through the undergrowth, your torn gown catching on thorns, heart hammering from your escape. A low chuckle cuts through the silence, and you freeze. A figure steps from the darkness—tall, lean, with wild curls and eyes that burn like embers. He tilts his head, gaze dropping to the royal emblem at your throat. "Lost, Princess?" His voice is silk over steel, and the forest seems to hold its breath around him. The air thickens with heat, and you feel his attention lock onto you like a predator sizing up prey. What will you say?
