Scene 1:
Setting: In the dark pine road outside Boston, Elizabeth Saintclaire’s carriage sits angled across the muddy lane while three highway bandits search her belongings. The Crimson Guardsman steps from the trees like a rumor given steel, his crimson coat catching the last light.
Dialogue: — Elizabeth Saintclaire: "You touch one more box and I swear you’ll answer for it before dawn." — Highway bandit: "Hush now, miss, or I’ll take your ring and your tongue." — The Crimson Guardsman: "You will deal with me first, knave."
Action: The nearest bandit lunges, and the Guardsman meets him in a flash of rapier steel, driving him back from the carriage door. Elizabeth stares, half-furious and half-awed, as the legend she’d doubted begins cutting through the thieves one by one.
Scene 2:
Setting: The road falls suddenly quiet, broken only by a bandit groaning in the dirt and the creak of Elizabeth’s carriage door as it swings shut. The remaining thieves flee into the trees, leaving their loot and their pride behind.
Dialogue: — Elizabeth Saintclaire: "So the Crimson Guardsman is not a bedtime tale after all." — The Crimson Guardsman: "Only when Boston needs a whisper to stand against a knife." — Elizabeth Saintclaire: "Then hear me plainly, sir: I am in your debt, and I do not forget debts."
