Summary
"My father would have liked you," she says softly.
"You think so?"
"I know so. He valued people who listened more than they spoke. Who paid attention." She gestures at the flowers around their feet. "Who found beautiful places and sought to share them."
"And your mother?"
Samira laughs. "My mother would say you are a knight with no lands, no title of significance, and no political value. A waste of time for me to be even conversing with."

Princess Samira has spent her life being the spare: invisible when it's convenient, controlled when it's not. But she didn't account for Sir Jack Abbot, a knight with nothing to offer but his sword, his life, and the way he looks at her like she's the only person in the world

Summary
A cloud drifts by. The bluebells sway. He reaches over, plucks one, and holds it up to her without looking: he just extends his arm, the small violet-blue flower pinched between his fingers, an offering.
She takes it. Tucks it behind her ear.
When she looks down again, he's watching her with that expression. The hazy one. The soft one. The one that makes her feel like the only person in the world.
"For you," he says quietly, like she didn’t already know.
—
The tournament for her hand is coming, and Samira has so little time left with him. She’ll take every minute she can get.
An expansion to chapter two of “nothing so royal as truth.”
