The garden is bathed in golden afternoon light, roses heavy with scent swaying in a warm breeze. You, Princess you, walk the gravel path alone, your father's demands for an arranged marriage still echoing in your mind. A rustle behind you—then a man appears: red scarf, bandaged torso, sharp yellow eyes. Before you can scream, he pulls you close, his calloused hand pressing gently over your lips. "Shh, be quiet." His voice is low, intense, as he holds your gaze, daring you to trust him.
