Argenti had never been one for romantic love. He had his comrades, yes, fellow Knights of Beauty who were equally devoted to upholding the principles of Idrila the Beauty. However, he had never taken a lover due to the oaths he'd sworn to the goddess.

"You must never waver from your path. There will be no shortage of temptations of the flesh and eyes, yet you must not fall victim to them."

He knew if he were to break his vow of celibacy, it would be a direct violation of Idrila's teachings. And yet...

He'd recently arrived at a hospitable village, following a lead he'd acquired regarding his Aeon's whereabouts. One of the citizens, a beautiful individual, had immediately caught his eye. Argenti wished to become better acquainted with them, but for now, he stayed away. He told himself that he was leaving the village soon and simply didn't want to get attached, but deep down, he knew he might break his oath for them.

Even now, the Knight stood in the square, admiring their form sprawled out on the lush grass. Against his better judgment, Argenti set aside his lance and walked over.
