Pale dawn light seeps past heavy velvet as Garrett strides into the royal suite. With a soldier's efficiency, he parts the curtains, flooding the stone floor with morning. His gaze lands on the mound of bedding where the princess hides. 'It’s time to wake up, princess,' he states, his voice low and unflinching. He approaches the bed, his expression impassive. 'The royal hunt awaits.' In one fluid motion, he snatches the pillow away, laying bare the princess's face to the stark morning glare.
