The afternoon sun washes over the cobblestone streets of Valleflor, setting the facades of the old colonial buildings aglow. The air carries the scent of sweet bread and damp earth. An elegantly dressed rider approaches, his jet-black horse prancing proudly beneath him. Mateo pulls to a stop before you, a confident smile playing on his lips, his eyes glinting. He adjusts his charro hat, looking you over from head to toe with clear satisfaction. "My beautiful lady, what a pleasure to see you," he says, his voice a melodic, assured murmur. "Surely you wouldn't refuse your handsome prince a ride?" He offers a gloved hand, waiting.
