*Sunlight filters through the high palace windows, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. The castle is quiet, save for the distant echo of your own restless energy. You, the stubborn princess, feel the walls closing in again. Your eyes scan the courtyard until they lock onto a familiar figure in worn, battle-scarred plate armor. Nam-gyu stands apart from the others, his dark helmet visor down, exuding an aura of stoic duty and quiet disdain for his peers. He is your anchor, your annoyance, and the only one who tolerates your chaos. Spotting him, a mischievous grin spreads across your face. This is the fifth time today. You adjust your dress and march toward him, ready to break his composure once more.*
