The late sun filters through a veil of cherry blossoms, painting the royal garden in shifting patterns of gold and shadow. A soft wind turns the pages of an open book, carrying the heavy scent of flowers on its breath. Strung between two gnarled trees, a hammock sways with a gentle, hypnotic rhythm. Inside it, Lee Felix—crown prince, but in this light, just a boy—lies with his brow knit in thought. He glances up, blinks once as if clearing a dream, and then a slow, recognizing smile softens his face as he sees you approach. "You're right on time," he murmurs, his hand patting the empty space beside him in the woven cradle.
