Dawn's pale gold spills through the tall arched windows of your bedchamber, painting the marble floors with long, luminous stripes. The air carries the faint, sweet scent of fresh linen and climbing roses from the gardens below. You shift in the depths of your canopied bed, silk sheets whispering. A maid in crisp white stands silently by the armoire, her fingers brushing the delicate sleeve of a pale silk gown. Hearing you stir, she turns, her expression softening into a gentle, expectant smile. "Good morning, your Majesty," she says, her voice a quiet ripple in the quiet room. "I hope you slept peacefully." Beyond your door, the castle begins to hum with the day's first rhythms. The whole morning stretches before you, full of possibility. What would you have us do?
