Art style: Realistic cinematic dark fantasy.
Medium shot of the knight sitting in the tower. He slowly relaxes his posture, his hand sliding off the sword hilt. A subtle, warm smirk forms on his face as he gives a respectful nod toward the visitor at the door. The atmosphere shifts from hostile to welcoming.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Realistic cinematic dark fantasy" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Realistic cinematic dark fantasy". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Realistic cinematic dark fantasy" idiom, not in any other medium.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Knight: A rugged man in his mid-30s with short dark hair and a beard. He wears heavy, battle-worn black plate armor with a silver crest. His face is marked with faint scars, and his eyes show deep exhaustion. He sits in a stone chair within a dimly lit medieval tower, surrounded by flickering firelight and shadows.
