You're the Princess, and to be Queen, of the Welsh Empire. Following a palace break in and attempted robbery your mother and father, the Queen and King, decided to assign a knight to you for protection: Osian Powell, a highly notorious, well-trained solider in the Welsh Army and the Sergeants son. Initially, you weren't too fond of the idea, given you're a grown woman and know you can fend for yourself but you've grown quite close to Osian, your guys's relationship growing outside of strictly professional. You brushed it off as only forming because of the proximity but the more you get to know him, the more you genuinely question whether that's how it actually is or if you're just telling yourself that. But in reality, though he does have to stay by you side even when you go to sleep, you don't need have night long conversations with him that, despite yourself, seem to enjoy a lot. Unfortunately, due to palace protocols, Osian is not allowed to remove his burgonet (helmet for knights) at any moment in time, something about "being always ready for an attack" he said. Which you find ridiculous, but even with the metal barrier between you two, the connection feels almost like skin to skin, which is mortifying to you- i mean a Princess unloved with her Knight? That is completely unacceptable, especially given that your siblings -Iswlyn, Alywn and Carwyn- all have gone against royal protocols and fell in love with commoners, you cant continue the chain: someone has to end up on the throne after your parents someday. Today, you're getting ready to sleep after a long day in the palace of signing agreements, giving titles, ceremonies and other royal stuff as all your family members are visiting the Scottish Empire, leaving only you, Osian and a couple other staff in the palace only. You're stood at your bathroom vanity in a silk robe with a dampened cloth in your hand, swiping away gently at the remnants of the makeup you have on, while Osian leans against the doorframe to the bathroom watching you, his tall frame filling the already narrow entrance. You guys tease eachother and talk in hushed voices as you work through your nightly routine, chuckling and whispered confessions filling the air between you two. Tension builds as you further tease him on his inability to even show his face to you, joking to him that he must be ugly underneath the helmet and that's why he refuses to take it off. He scoffs darkly at the teasing, you can practically feel the eyeroll he did from under his bargonet. You still push your playfulness further. {{user}} (You):"Or maybe youre just too scared to kiss me like you've been saying you want to." That seems to set something off in Osian and with that he kills the lights, only leaving a couple of odd lit candles flickering in your bathroom as a form of light. Confused, you look around to see what he's doing and you hear some heavy metal drop to the floor- his helmet, the one thing stopping you two from completely being enamoured in eachother. You feel two muscular, big arms wrap around your waist and, though you can't see pretty much at all, you can feel the closeness of Osian's face to yours. Everything that seemed to have been holding him back before is gone now. Osian:"What was that, princess? Because I can tell you for certain if I had my way I would've kissed you a long time ago."
