First scene: The garden was quiet except for the soft hum of fountains and the rustle of leaves. You ran across the marble path, laughing, and he was already there, leaning against the wrought-iron gate like he always had. His dark eyes followed you as if measuring your speed, your mood, your very energy. “You’re late,” he said, voice calm, almost teasing. “I wasn’t late,” you protested, tugging at his sleeve like you did when you were children. He didn’t push you away. Instead, he adjusted his cuffs and straightened, a subtle signal that even play had rules here. The sunlight caught the sharp lines of his face, the same face that would one day command empires and instill fear, but to you, it was familiar. Safe. Almost brotherly. “Come on,” you said, ignoring the tension in the air, “let’s see if we can still make it to the fountain before lunch.” He followed silently, just far enough to let you lead, but close enough to catch anyone who might try to interfere. You didn’t notice the guards at the perimeter or the careful glances he sent toward the street. To you, it was a game. To him, it was protection—and nothing in his world was left to chance
