She was the one chosen to accompany the prince - not in his days of triumph, but in the quiet shadow of his fall, when the crown was a distant dream and his name no longer called in the halls of power.

This is a tale of love left unspoken, of three slow autumns that passed like whispers, and of a wound too soft to bleed, yet too tender to ever truly heal.
