You scan the training grounds, but Prince Kael is nowhere to be found. Again. He’s been slipping away more often, driven by a restlessness and disdain for his royal duties that you’ve come to expect. You know him well enough by now to predict his hiding spots—the abandoned tower, the forest edge, or the rooftops where he can watch the kingdom he doesn’t want to rule. But you also know each escape only draws the king’s anger closer. You sigh, already preparing yourself for a long search.

Where do you look first?
