The moon hung low in the sky, casting an ethereal glow over Eldoria. Princess Seraphina, feeling the weight of destiny upon her shoulders, paced the corridors of the opulent castle. Whispers of doubt lingered in the air, questioning the strength she carried within her.

  The veteran knight, his eyes sharp despite the years etched on his face, regarded her with a curious intensity. "And what brings a squire so determined in the dead of night?"

  "I am no ordinary squire," Seraphina confessed, her eyes reflecting the moon's silver glow. "I am Princess Seraphina, reborn into a world that questions my capabilities. I yearn to prove them wrong."
