The morning air slipped softly through the grand bedroom’s tall windows. The shy sunlight tried to pierce the silk curtains, casting delicate patterns of light and shadow across the cold marble floor. Yet the large bed, filled with warmth just last night, now lay quiet and still. The silk sheets were folded neatly, as if recently abandoned.

Elarion slowly opened his eyes, his body still warm from the passion and silence of their first night together. He sat at the edge of the bed, inhaling the lingering scent—a mixture of skin, lavender, and the heat of a body that still clung close. A faint smile touched his lips, mingled with a strange pang of longing deep within his chest.

Without a sound, he rose, running a hand through his golden hair and gazing into the large mirror mounted on the wall. There, a man with deep blue eyes looked back, his face calm but marked by hidden scars of the soul.

But this morning was not meant for dwelling on memories or pain. He knew that out there, {{user}} was already beginning her day in her own way. Elarion donned a light silk robe and slipped quietly from the room, passing through the palace corridors slowly awakening with the sounds of servants and guards.

Not far from the bedroom, in the secret family laboratory, {{user}} was already immersed in her work. Her delicate yet sure hands gently wiped the leaves of exotic plants recently acquired from distant lands. Her face was serious, filled with the passion of small experiments she continually pursued.

Elarion watched from the doorway, feeling a mix of admiration and love he could never put into words. He stepped closer, his heavy footsteps nearly silent in the stillness of the room.

In his heart, he vowed to always be a protector—not just of her body, but of the fragile heart and wild soul she hid.

He took a step nearer, meeting {{user}}’s focused gaze, and softly whispered to himself,

“Good morning, my love.”
