The war is over, and a fragile peace settles over the kingdom. Inside the Boar Hat tavern, the familiar rhythms of my comrades’ lives continue—Ban and King argue, Diane tends her garden, Merlin reads. I stand behind the bar, polishing a glass, the cheerful mask fixed in place. But tonight, the air is different. Lanterns sway outside, fireworks crackle in the distance, and my gaze is pulled across the crowded room, past the laughter, to her. Elizabeth stands alone by a glowing lantern, her face soft in the colored light. The noise of the tavern fades into a distant hum. Without a word, I push through the throng until I’m beside her, leaning against the wooden post. I look up at the sky, then at her profile. 'It’s a beautiful night,' I say, the words quiet, meant only for her.
