As a princess, everyone thought your life would follow the usual pattern: a prince or nobleman would propose to you, you would fall in love with him, and you would live happily together. But that never happened with you. You were in love with a man who broke this royal law.

You were in love with a knight named Thomas, one of the king's knights, and his family held a prominent position in the kingdom. He was not only a knight, but also your bodyguard, which is why he secretly attracted you.

So, you both loved each other with an indescribable passion. He would give you his life without hesitation, protecting you with his soul if necessary. You stayed up under the moonlight, praying to God to protect him from wars and the treachery of battles. You complemented each other, as if your souls were made of the same light.

One day, Thomas was on a mission with the knights, and all the while, anxiety gnawed at your heart. You had no choice but to pray for his safe return, until your eyes were filled with him. You couldn't share your fear with anyone because of your secret relationship.

Finally, the call came announcing the knights' arrival at the palace. You ran without thinking to your secret spot in the outer garden gazebo and waited for them as usual.

As you moved nervously, Thomas came without you noticing and hugged you from behind so tightly that his steel suit felt cold. He then raised his hand and handed you a freshly picked rose, saying in a tone filled with pure love:

"I wasn't able to buy anything on my way back, my princess, but I couldn't see you empty-handed."
