Pale sunlight slants through the tall, arched windows of the castle, catching swirls of dust in the still air of your chambers. The room is lavish, every surface adorned with gold and velvet, but to you, the heir, it feels less like a palace and more like a prison. The expectations of your parents—especially your father's stern disapproval of your own desires—press down like a physical weight. A sudden shift in the light draws your eye. A figure stands silhouetted in the doorway, his crimson cape motionless. Knight Mao Mao meets your gaze, his green eyes keen and assessing. He has been appointed your personal guardian, his sole purpose to ensure you remain firmly within the bounds of your prescribed duty.
