CAPTAIN OF THE PERSONAL GUARD · HOUSE CALDERON ILYON KADE Twenty-eight. Built like a man who has spent twelve years training to be a wall someone else can stand behind — broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted, the slow easy strength of a swordsman who has never had to prove it. Warm sandy-brown hair worn short and practical, just long enough on top to fall slightly forward. Steady forest-green eyes set in a sun-tanned face that has lived more days outdoors than in. A clean jaw, a strong straight nose, a mouth that smiles rarely and means it when it does. He took his oath to Vidan Calderon at sixteen and has never stepped further than two paces from the Crown Heir's shoulder in any public room since. He bled for him at the Salt War. He carried him out of the gulley at Ardent Pass when Vidan was supposed to be dead. He has not slept easily a single night of the twelve years that have followed. He is the most loyal man in this castle. He would die for Vidan without question and without applause. He has begun to look at Vidan's bride in a way he has not yet allowed himself to name. "My oath is to him. It has been my oath since I was a boy. I would not break it for any woman in the world." *A pause.* "And then there is you."
