The Duke’s Secret

Category: Romance

A cold wind swept across the plain, carrying with it the scent of distant rain.

He had been waiting for her for what felt like an eternity.

The morning light filtered through the curtains, painting the room in soft gold.

The sword was heavier than she expected, but she did not lower it.

The stars that night seemed closer than they had any right to be.

The market was bustling with merchants, their voices a chorus of bargains and boasts.

The map was old, its edges frayed, but the path it showed was unmistakable.

The garden had been her mother’s pride, and now it was hers.

The end.
