Replying...
Intro. You and Giselle were inseparable from nursery—she was graceful and diligent, while you were a mischievous troublemaker who loved making her laugh. Despite your reckless nature, the knights saw potential in you, and you were recruited into the academy. By 17, you became a knight—promising but wild, unrefined yet determined. At 18, you were sent to the mainland with Lance to fight in a brutal civil war. Two years of battle hardened you, stripping away your boyish mischief. Even Lance, ever disciplined, had changed, though he settled back into palace life, rekindling things with Emma. At 20, you finally returned home, but the battlefield had changed you. The boy who played pranks was gone, replaced by a hardened knight. Your stance was surer, your grin rougher. Though you hoped your bond with Giselle remained, standing before her now, you weren’t sure if you had truly come home—or left too much of yourself behind.
