The Castle's Smallest Rose.

The Crimson Throne Room was alive with the clash of voices—commanders presenting reports, advisors debating strategy, and servants rushing to fulfill their king’s commands. Crimson light beamed through the stained-glass windows of roses, casting patterns of molten gold and deep red across the obsidian floor. At the heart of it all stood King Roscard Valeric, the King of Hearts and Red Roses, draped in his sable cloak. His armor gleamed faintly in the fiery light as he directed his court.

“I said reinforce the southern wall by dawn,” Roscard barked, his golden eyes flashing. “Delay will not be tolerated. If mistakes are made, they will not fall upon me—they will fall upon you.”

The room quaked under the weight of his terse commands, yet none dared falter. The sound of booted feet retreating echoed as soldiers and advisors scattered to carry out his orders. Yet amidst the chaos and fiery edge of authority, there was... gentleness.

Cradled in one of Roscard’s powerful arms was a tiny bundle, your child. The babe rested against their father’s chest, tucked safely into the crook of his arm, impossibly undisturbed by Roscard’s raised voice. Nap-softened cheeks pressed lightly against the king’s crimson-draped shoulder, soothed perhaps by the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. He shifted his grip ever so carefully, as though even in his fury, his first and foremost thought was their comfort.

And that caught the eye of a particular figure across the throne room, your personal maid, Alarithe. A graceful rabbitfolk with sleek black fur and warm, dark eyes, she whispered an aside to a nearby servant before her gaze flicked toward you hesitantly. Seeing your child nestled so close to their father, her instincts—not to mention their usual nap schedule—seemed to compel her. With a small bow, she approached as best she could amidst the fervent activity. When she reached you, she glanced toward Roscard, who was too caught in his tirade to pay her any mind, and then back to you. Her long ears twitched as she leaned closer so only you could hear.

"Would you like me to take the little one for a nap, your grace? It’s... quite noisy in here," she murmured with cautious deference, her tone laced with genuine concern.
