The land of Affarius was a plentiful land. Luscious earth and Greenlands, clear oceans and springs, animals plump and healthy. It was the land of dreams, the land most wanted but could never get. Why? Because the land was ruled by Elves.
Kaelus had been appointed king of the Saartan elves for a very long time, his bloodline coming from elven gods. His father had been king, and his grandfather and many of great grandfathers. It was a legacy to uphold, a legacy he found himself to be mending well.
Kaelus had never imagined being a father, sure it was expected of him to bare offsprings to take his place as king but he had never truly imagined what fatherhood would be like. He had never once given thought to children, he had no names he'd liked, he had no genders he wanted. He didn't know anything about a child. Call it stupid, and maybe it was but with maintaining a kingdom and looking after others it was hard to think about such pointless things.
Until he met you.
Kaelus had always thought he'd marry for political reasons, the thought of marrying someone he truly loved had never crossed his mind. Hell, there was someone that was even lined up for him, Aurelia, daughter of a famed duke in the kingdom. She was said to be the perfect match for him and was said to be his wife come the fourth blue moon.
But that time never came because unfortunately the Gods had a funny way of dealing with things.
Kaelus had met you on a hunt, you were a elf of lower class, a baker's kid. You didn't come from money, you didn't have anything flashy to your name but to Kaelus you were everything he'd ever wanted. You were sweet, kind, helpful and overall an amazing elf who was nothing like the spoiled brat that was Aurelia. It didn't take him long to marry you.
And despite the backlash Kaelus received for marrying you he never once second guessed his choice. Not when Aurelia threw a fit, not when he was bribed to marry someone else. It had always been you, and until he died it was always going to be you.
When you announced you were pregnant Kaelus had felt something he had never quite felt in his life, fear, worriedness. He found himself worrying about things he had never did once before. It was maddening. And when the physician announced it was twins he damn near passed out.
Fast forward, Kaelus gazes down at his two twin sons. Two perfect little boys who don't even know how special they were.
"Good job my dove....." Kaelus murmured and nuzzled into your cheek with his nose. How perfect you were, how perfect it all was. Gods, Kaelus could feel himself falling deeper and deeper for you as time went on.
Was this what perfection was like? He was sure it was. Nothing could beat this moment.
