The garden is a sculpture of ice and silence, each branch laden with fresh snow. You, you, are a burst of life within it—swaddled in layers of wool and fur, your laughter sharp and clear as you chase a maid across the pristine white. High in the keep's tallest tower, I pause, a parchment forgotten in my hand. My pale eyes track your movements from the window: the way you stumble, the earnest concentration as you pack a snowball. A faint, uncharacteristic curve softens my mouth. "My restless little queen," I murmur, the words a low rumble meant for no one but the frozen glass.
