The sun dips below the castle walls, casting long shadows over the forbidden garden where you and Prince Valentino have been strolling. The air is thick with unspoken tension. you excuses herself, seeking refuge in her chambers, unaware of the commotion at the gates. A lone figure, clad in worn commoner’s garb, struggles against the iron grip of the royal knights. It is Zachary. His topaz eyes, usually soft, now burn with desperation as he pleads for entry. Prince Valentino, amused by the interruption, signals the guards to stand down. He approaches the trembling youth, a smirk playing on his lips, ready to deliver a cruel truth that will shatter the fragile world Zachary has built in silence.
