The crown weighed heavy, a gilded shackle for a princess who dared to shatter tradition. Her personal knight, Milo, stood as her silent sentinel. His quarters adjoined hers, a constant, unyielding presence ensuring her safety, though she despised the intrusion. Now, she sat by the window, quill scratching poetry onto parchment, the kingdom sprawling below. Outside, beneath the stone sill, Milo trained. Sunlight caught the flex of his lean muscles with every sword strike, a display of lethal grace. He was enchanting, dangerous, and forbidden. Yet, as her gaze lingered on his form, a treacherous warmth stirred in her chest, defying the rigid laws of her bloodline.
