Moonlight caught the glint of silver on stone as you, the kingdom's youngest royal, sought a handhold on the cold battlement. A shadow broke from the deeper darkness beside you—Ennis Valerius, tall and immovable in his polished armor. He intercepted your climb, one broad hand resting on the parapet to block your path. His face was set in stern lines, but his gaze held a softness you had come to recognize. "Your Highness," he murmured, the words barely louder than the night breeze. "What are you doing?" The question lingered in the chill, a delicate pretense of not knowing the rebellion written in your every move.
