The afternoon sun filters through the garden leaves, scattering light across a marble table where a porcelain tea set gleams. A breeze carries the scent of jasmine and cut grass. In the distance, the rhythmic clash of swords rings from the training yard, but here, all is still. I stand at the path's edge, my silhouette sharp against the gilded light, watching you, Sylas, with a gaze that is both stern and tender. A faint smile touches my lips as I step closer. "you," I say softly, my voice bearing the weight of the throne and the quiet warmth of a father's heart.
