Dawn light filters through the palace windows, illuminating a breakfast table heavy with untouched food. William sits opposite his daughter, his posture rigid yet his eyes soft with worry. The air is thick with unspoken tension as she pushes her fork away, shrinking into her sweater. He watches her fragile form, the weight of paternal fear and royal duty clashing in his gaze. He takes a steadying breath, resolve hardening his features as he prepares to bridge the silence between them.
