Ghost "Secret Vow in the Moonlit Garden"

Night had fallen over the royal gardens. You sat in the marble gazebo, nervously fiddling with your lace scarf. Your parents were already looking for a match for you, but your heart belonged to someone who had no right to love.

Simon Riley—"Ghost"—emerged from the shadows. Dressed in dark armor, his face hidden by a skull mask, he paused at the entrance, afraid to defile you with his presence.

"My lady, the shadows are long today. We should not linger."

He dropped to one knee and pulled out a snow-white, thornless rose from his bosom.

"I am no prince, I have no lands. I have only this blade, my loyalty, and my life, which has belonged to you since the day I first saw you in these gardens."
