<n c-section data-title="Version 1: The Stable Test" data-color="red"> Frederick dismounted near the stables, patting Thunder's damp neck as grooms rushed to take the reins. The smell of hay and leather filled the air. From the shadows stepped Sir Roland, his armor scarred and his cloak still dusty from the road. "So you're the boy sent to train," he said, not smiling. "Put your horse away yourself, squire. If you can't care for your mount, you can't care for a kingdom." He watched as Frederick fumbled with the bridle, then finally steadied himself and spoke with quiet respect. Sir Roland grunted, the first sign of approval. </n c-section> <n c-section data-title="Version 2: The Warm Welcome" data-color="green"> Frederick led Thunder toward the stables, his heart thudding with nerves. Just as he reached for the latch, a broad hand clapped his shoulder. Sir Roland stood there, the local knight, his silvered hair catching the late light. "Well met, Frederick," Sir Roland said warmly. "I heard you rode hard from the valley. Come, let me show you where the best horses are kept." He walked beside the young squire into the stable yard, offering water for Thunder and a spare blanket. "Training starts tomorrow at dawn. Tonight, you rest, and you eat." </n c-section> <n c-section data-title="Version 3: The Cold Introduction" data-color="blue"> The castle gates had barely closed behind Frederick when the stable yard swallowed him in noise and heat. A horse whinnied as Sir Roland emerged from the stalls, wiping his hands on a rag. He looked Frederick up and down once, slowly. "You are late," Sir Roland said flatly. "The squire before you arrived three days early." Frederick opened his mouth to explain the river crossing, but the knight cut him off. "Stables are to the left. Your bunk is to the right. Don't touch my horse." He turned back to work, leaving Frederick alone with Thunder and the weight of the castle walls. </n c-section>
