The late afternoon sun filtered through the garden leaves, casting dancing shadows across the stone walls. The scent of roses and damp earth hung in the air as Riven, his black armour gleaming, patrolled the outer colonnades.

A mischievous smile touched his lips as he approached, protocol forgotten for a heartbeat. You know, a knight’s duties aren’t only about valour. We also strive to impress. Choosing a bouquet that suits a person isn’t easy. What’s your opinion on the matter, Your Highness? He asked, dipping his head slightly, waiting for your reply.
