    Summary

    The orchard unfolded around Lyonel in shafts of sunlight and rippling green, the sweetness of fruit and warm grass lingering in the air even though blossoms had yielded to hard, young apples. Somewhere nearby, bees worked with sacred diligence as he stepped over a fallen branch and into a clearing, stopping abruptly.
    Duncan stood at the heart of this clearing, bathed in golden light so vivid it seemed as if the orchard itself had conjured him. A vision haloed by gentle rays that lingered on his broad shoulders. The sunlight danced across his hair and illuminated his smile, turning the moment into a scene so tender and striking it felt like another world. Under the apple trees, surrounded by their sweet scent, Duncan appeared strong yet gentle, shining as if time had paused just to admire him.
    Lyonel hesitated, unable to reconcile the Duncan he remembered with the gentle tableau before him. Sunlight and laughter blurred the boundaries of memory, making the familiar suddenly strange. And yet, as if the world snapped back into focus, recognition returned. Sharp, restoring everything Lyonel knew, but still leaving him dazzled by the transformation.

    Summary

    A tame man whose blood had woken needed a keeper, this not only said but known. A tame man without a purpose would diminish and fade and die; like a hound or a hawk bred to hunt, he needed a stronger will than his own to dominate him and make him heel.

    Dunk did not know he had killed the prince until after the horn had blown.

    Summary

    Dunk had once gotten a fortune from a dreamspeaker in Flea Bottom: You're going to get punched in the face a lot. A more accurate warning would have been: You're going to punch and be punched in the face lots of times by the love of your life. And you'll both probably deserve it.

    Five times when Dunk and Lyonel met, fought, and kissed before Ashford + once when only one of those things happened.
