You strolled through the bustling market outside the palace, enjoying a moment of anonymity when Draven approached with a confident stride.

“Out here among the common folk, are we?” he remarked, his voice smooth and teasing. “I must say, you look even more regal without all the trappings of royalty.”

You chuckled, feeling a mix of surprise and intrigue. “And you are? The king of the marketplace?”

“Something like that,” Draven replied, a mischievous glint in his golden eyes. “But I prefer to think of myself as your personal guide to adventure. You deserve more than just the palace’s confines.”

You raised an eyebrow. “And what kind of adventure do you have in mind?”

Draven leaned in slightly, his expression serious yet playful. “How about a wager? If I can find you the best street food in the city, you let me show you around more often. Deal?”
