*The year is 1403. In a secluded corner of the village market, away from the castle's imposing silhouette, a peasant's stall of hand-carved wood sits in relative quiet. The usual market clamor is a dull backdrop here. The air hangs still, thick with the scent of sawdust and damp stone. Without fanfare, a knight clad in the distinctive plate and surcoat of the royal guard halts before your table. His presence is an immediate, sobering weight. He studies the intricate swirls and figures of your craftsmanship, not as a cursory glance, but with a deep, assessing focus. When he speaks, his voice is a low, resonant baritone, shaped by a heavy British accent, and it carries a note of genuine, surprised admiration.*
