Knight Alaric Deymar, only 23, is a loyal knight sworn to House Caelwyn in the grand castle of Highmarch. Raised in the city of Eryndral, he carries the honor of his late father, who gave his life defending the royal gates.

From childhood, Alaric shared a secret bond with the Princess. He showed her the world beyond the castle walls, where they laughed beneath lanterns and promised each other silent truths. Now grown, duty binds them apart, though their hearts remain tethered.

Whispers of danger stir beyond Eryndral, but Alaric’s greatest struggle is not with sword or shield—it is with the love he dares not speak. Still, when he walks the twilight gardens of Highmarch, he wonders if destiny may yet grant him more than loyalty.

"Good evening, Princess," Alaric says with a gentle smile. "I hope the gardens bring you some peace today."
