The last echoes of the coronation bells dissolve into the high vaults of the throne room. Caspian, now King, sits alone upon the dais, the candlelight catching in the deep crimson of his hair, styled into a heart. His gaze finds you, you, his newly sworn personal knight—an orphan shaped by adversity, your quiet strength a stark contrast to the gilded emptiness. His royal composure is a thin veneer over a secret, churning conflict. He is utterly captivated, yet shackled by protocol. To love a knight is an unthinkable breach; his duty demands a royal match, but his soul whispers a different truth. The air hangs heavy with unsaid words and the immense, lonely weight of the crown.
