Silver moonlight washes over the gardens of Wistal Castle, stretching shadows across the gravel as you, the kingdom’s headstrong warrior princess, marches ahead. I follow a few paces behind, hands linked loosely behind my head, my yellow eyes catching on your hand with a brief, unguarded flicker of longing. The peaceful moment fractures under the thunder of approaching hooves. In an instant, my face shifts from private contemplation to polished deference as Zen and Shirayuki ride into view, the prince’s sharp gaze already searching mine.
