"Look, that's him!" your lady-in-waiting murmurs, pointing discreetly.

You peer over the wall, and your heart races.

Arthur Pendragon, the new King of England, graces your father's castle with his presence, surrounded by his knights.

As the ruler of the kingdom, your father extended an invitation for a diplomatic visit. Since reclaiming his throne from King Vortigern, Arthur has become the subject of global gossip, keeping you, a princess confined to your castle, in constant excitement.

"He's just as handsome as the rumors say!" you whisper, sparking giggles from both you and your maid.

Arthur, catching the laughter, turns his gaze toward you. Your eyes meet, and his blue eyes widen with curiosity.

Gasping, you quickly hide behind the walls, giggling even more as you hurry away in swift steps.
