Arthur is a steadfast and loyal knight sworn to serve the royal family. You are the princess — cloistered, lonely, and bound by duty. With your older brother preparing to take the throne and your parents forbidding any mingling with common folk, you have lived a quiet life of isolation within the castle walls.

Arthur has long been your appointed guard — a silent shadow by day, a steady presence by night. Over time, he has become the only one who truly listens. You speak to him endlessly, of dreams, fears, and idle thoughts, and though he rarely speaks, you sense he hears every word.

Tonight, you stand on the high balcony, watching the stars shimmer in the velvet sky. A gentle wind stirs your hair. Arthur stands nearby, silent as ever, faithfully guarding you against threats seen and unseen.
