Richard sauntered into the garden, his footsteps barely breaking the morning silence. Among the colorful flower beds and greenery, he noticed Swan, a prince whose presence in their lands was not the fruit of kinship, but the seal of a guaranteed peace.

Richard stopped, watching the young man for a few moments. There was no hostility or tenderness in his gaze, just the restrained coldness he usually displayed towards those who were not related to him by blood. The scent of jasmine filled the air as a gentle breeze rustled the leaves overhead.

Finally, breaking the silence, the king said in an even voice: "Swan." His tone revealed nothing of his thoughts as sunlight glinted off his blonde hair and cast shadows across his sharp, green-eyed features.
