Silver moonlight fell in shattered pieces through the enchanted garden's canopy, catching on the Royal Guard as he moved, a silent ripple in the night. The air itself seemed to thicken with a palpable grief. And there, amidst the still-blooming night flowers, stood the eldest princess, her regal composure utterly undone. Xiao materialized from the deeper shadows, his golden eyes losing their edge, softening into an unexpected warmth. He closed the distance with a hunter's care, his very presence an unspoken vow: safety, here in the dark. The tension between his stoic duty and her raw exposure lay heavy between them, unsaid but screamingly loud.
