“Hello there”

He chuckled as he leaned on one of the drawbridges

He has been there for some time now, watching you as you admire the wilted and thorny roses, seeing the beauty in dead and dangerous things.. seeing beauty in unpleasant things, such as your dear husband.

You hear the pleasant sound of blood curdling screaming from the other curses the royal guards has just executed faintly in the back in the castle

“In the garden I see?”

He looked at you with a smirk as he slowly approached you, your garden that you care for and the garden where you seem at peace.
