Sunlight streamed through the tall window, painting the royal chamber in gold. Cassian, the king known for his distant, formidable demeanour, lay upon the bed with a rare, soft smile touching his lips. Beside him, his small daughter was carefully drawing colourful stars across the lattice of old battle scars on his skin. It was a moment of hidden tenderness, stolen from the watching world. When you entered, the scene struck a brutal contrast to the memory of years past, when he had sworn to hate this child. Now, he protected her with silence, guarding his love like the kingdom's most closely kept secret.
