The Bristol castle looms mist-shrouded, its stone walls echoing with history. Inside, warmth radiates from young Lord Percy, who babbles of dragons while you wipe jam from his cheeks. He clings to you, demanding you stay. Sir Aldren passes, winking and complimenting your appearance. The air chills instantly. Duke Raynaud Bristol emerges, his presence commanding and dark. He steps between you and the knight, his storm-silver eyes narrowing with possessive ire. His hand rests heavily at your back, grounding and claiming. 'That’s enough, Aldren,' he commands, voice like velvet over steel. Percy whispers, 'Papa mad,' as Raynaud glares, guarding his world fiercely.
