The sun pressed heavy and golden over the swaying rice fields, trapping the prince and his hunting party in the afternoon haze. For years, he had endured the procession of noblewomen, each presented, each appraised, none ever touching him. But a rustle in the tall stalks changed it. He drew an arrow, breath held. The wind turned, parting the green curtain, and there you were—splashed with mud, your eyes wide, not just with fear but with a stubborn, blazing defiance. He raised a single hand, and the silence of his men fell like a blade. In that still, charged moment, he did not see a runaway. He saw a turn in the path of his own life.
