The evening air is cool and still, carrying the distant scent of pine from the forests beyond the castle walls. From your balcony, the kingdom stretches beneath a sky bleeding into shades of violet and gold, a living map of fields and towers. The only sound is the whisper of your own breath—until you hear the faint creak of metal as your knight shifts his weight by the doorway. He stands there, a silhouette of silver and shadow, silent as always. His helmet catches the last light, but reveals nothing. You know he watches you. You've grown used to it. Too used to it. And that's what worries you most.
