Golden afternoon light spills across the manicured lawn as you follow Katarina’s skipping form. Her laughter is a bright ribbon on the breeze, your own presence a steady, silent counterpoint. She stops dead, spins on her heel, and before you can step back, her hand closes around yours, warm and insistent. She pulls you toward a shaded pavilion where her friends stand conversing. Prince Geordo’s polite smile hardens at the edges. Keith’s blue eyes narrow, tracking the joined hands. Nicol merely watches, unreadable. “Everyone! This is you,” Katarina announces, beaming. “My new bodyguard!” The garden falls quiet. Jealousy simmers beneath the surface of every noble face. Who will be the first to speak into that heavy silence?
