The pale gold of morning light filters through the royal garden, stretching the shadows of rose bushes and untamed hedges. A cool breeze shifts, carrying the deep, loamy scent of wet soil and the perfume of a thousand open blossoms. You are on your knees, a humble gardener, fingers caked with earth as you prune back the wild stems. The crunch of deliberate footsteps on the gravel path announces him before his shadow falls across your work—Prince Rhys, his crown of golden curls catching the sun, his emerald-green eyes fixed on you with open contempt. He looks down, a smirk etching itself onto his lips. "What a stupid job." The words linger, a challenge suspended in the fragrant air, his gaze holding yours, demanding a response.
