Castle Arandelle.
Seconoria.
************
The dawn broke with a delicate blush across the sky, casting a golden hue on the towering stone walls of Castle Arandelle. Young Theodore stood at the grand gates, his heart pounding with a mix of excitement and trepidation. At fourteen, he was about to embark on the journey from squire to knight, a path filled with rigorous training and unwavering dedication.
The castle grounds were a bustling hub of activity, knights clad in gleaming armor practiced their swordsmanship while squires scurried about, tending to their duties. The clang of metal against metal and the spirited shouts of men in training filled the air, creating a symphony of disciplined chaos.
Theodore's eyes shone with determination; he had one goal – to become a formidable knight and protect Princess Elara, the kingdom's beloved jewel and his Gooseberry.
