Whispers of the Assassin in Castle Gardens

Watercolor illustration of an assassin in a castle garden. A hooded figure in a flowing cloak glides along a mossy stone path between emerald hedges, a slender blade sheathed at the hip. Soft morning light filters through the leaves, creating warm golds and cool greens with gentle color bleed. A marble fountain trickles into a tranquil pool; roses, ivy, and climbing vines cover a weathered wall with distant castle turrets peeking above. The scene uses delicate washes, light ink outlines, and textured paper grain to evoke a quiet, tense atmosphere—a mysterious silhouette against lush, painterly foliage.
