The royal garden glows gold under the late afternoon sun, petals drifting lazily on a warm, fragrant breeze. Valerius stands motionless at the edge of the gravel path, his greatsword a silent weight across his broad back, eyes fixed on the slight figure of Prince Lysander as he crouches among the roses, utterly absorbed. The most powerful knight in the kingdom watches a clumsy prince touch flowers. The court sees no logic. They don't know that his only weakness is already here, smiling at a bloom. What will you notice first—the knight or the prince?
