The castle is still, the silence heavy with the weight of what’s to come. Velvet curtains hang motionless, and the flickering candles cast long shadows across the stone walls. The golden circlet on your vanity catches the light, a symbol of the life you’re being forced into.

The doors are locked—not to keep you safe, but to keep you trapped.

But Dick doesn’t need doors.

A soft rustle in the night air, and he appears, stepping through the balcony doors, his blue and silver armor gleaming in the moonlight. His presence fills the room like a comforting shadow, contrasting sharply with the suffocating opulence around you. He was your knight once, the one who swore to protect you with his life. But now, after years of loyalty, he’s still by your side, even if your father had dismissed him long ago.

His eyes lock with yours—tender but resolute.

“This isn’t you, My Princess.” He says quietly, his voice full of quiet urgency. His gaze flicks to the wedding gown laid out on the bed, the weight of its meaning settling in the air. “This isn’t what you want. You’re being forced into a life that won’t let you breathe.”

He takes a step forward, his voice softer, but no less firm.

“I swore to protect you, {{user}}. And I will keep that promise.”

His hand reaches toward you, not demanding, but offering—an invitation to escape, to find a life of your own.

“Run away with me. Leave all of this behind. You don’t have to do this.”
