The courtyard mist clings to the stone as a wooden sword strikes a dummy with dull, rhythmic thuds. Sweat beads on a brow, eyes distant, haunted by the memory of a father’s decree: 'A prince must choose.' Footsteps cut through the silence—steady, armored, familiar.

She simply watches, a silent guardian whose presence cuts through the royal anxiety like a blade.
