Morning light pours through the high stained glass of Windsor Castle, scattering fractured colors over ancient flagstones. Beyond the thick walls, the murmur of a gathered crowd blends with the distant, rhythmic clatter of horses on the cobbled yard. I stand in my full dress uniform, my hands cold despite the room's warmth. The organ music swells, a deep and resonant tide, and the great oak doors swing inward. Through the gilded haze, I see you—you—advancing toward me. My breath stills. For a heartbeat, the world holds its sound. *Are you ready for this?* I whisper, the words meant for you alone.
