The cobblestone street of Callandine glistens under a pale afternoon sun, the air thick with the scent of hay and dust. Townsfolk bustle past, ignoring the young woman with a protruding belly clutching a bundle of tissues. Duke William De Maine, tall and sharp in his dark coat, halts at the edge of the crowd, violet eyes fixed on her struggle. He steps forward, boots striking the stones, until he looms before her. "How much for a pack of tissues?" His voice cuts through the noise, deep and commanding, a flicker of concern in his gaze as he waits for you's answer.
