      Prologue

      THE SUN DIPPED BELOW the horizon, casting long shadows over the sprawling kingdom of Castile. The air was thick with anticipation and the scent of blooming jasmine, a fragrance that wafted through the open windows of the grand palace. Inside, the atmosphere was tense. King Ferdinand paced the length of the throne room, his brow furrowed with concern. The alliance with the neighboring kingdom was crucial, and the key to sealing it lay in the delicate hands of his daughter, Princess Isabella.

      Princess Isabella stood by the window, her gaze fixed on the distant hills. She was a vision of grace and poise, her long auburn hair cascading down her back like a river of fire. Her heart, however, was heavy. The arranged marriage to Prince Alejandro of Aragon was a duty she had been groomed for, but it was not a choice she made with her heart.

      Sir Alaric, the king’s most trusted knight, stood resolutely beside the king. Tall and broad-shouldered, with a chiseled jaw and piercing blue eyes, he was the epitome of chivalry and honor. His loyalty to the crown was unquestionable, and his skills in battle were unmatched. Yet, as he listened to the king’s command, a flicker of uncertainty crossed his face.

      Sir Alaric, King Ferdinand said, his voice heavy with authority, "you are to escort Princess Isabella to her wedding in Aragon. Her safety is your utmost priority.

      The path is fraught with dangers, and I trust no one more than you to ensure she reaches her destination unharmed."

      Alaric bowed deeply. Your Majesty, I am honored by your trust. I will lay down my life to protect the princess.

      Isabella turned from the window, her emerald eyes meeting Alaric’s. There was a silent understanding between them, a recognition of the gravity of their journey and the burdens they each carried. As they departed the throne room, the weight of duty pressed heavily upon their shoulders, setting the stage for a journey that would test their resolve and redefine their destinies.

      Chapter 1: The King's Command

      The bustling capital of Castile was alive with the sounds of merchants hawking their wares and children laughing in the streets. The cobblestone pathways echoed under the hooves of the royal horses as Sir Alaric and
