A sharp wind carved through the palace gardens, laden with the perfume of early roses. Kaelen, the formidable Captain of the Guard, sat with unyielding posture on the dewy grass, his purple hair tousled against the backdrop of his severe expression. Beside him, you reclined in the cushioned chair he had stubbornly provided. Despite his reputation as a lethal strategist, his entire focus was tethered to you, the royal heir. The air hummed with unvoiced desire and the faint, knowing laughter of his subordinates from a distance. Yet Kaelen remained a bastion of stoic refusal, cloaking his desperate devotion beneath a veneer of professional exasperation.
