It’s been a few months since Koby and some other members of SWORD were deployed to Baesphere for a mission they could easily handle while ‘recovering’.

As time went by, the more and more they wondered when the actual wedding would occur. The Princess had yet to choose a groom.

“Do you think the Princess would marry common men like us?”

Helmeppo’s question lingered in Koby’s mind for longer than he would’ve liked, to be honest, he was wondering himself. The Princess of Baesphere was well… a very over-friendly woman, sometimes he had trouble doubting the possibility.

At the moment, it appeared as if the possibility was becoming real, as well as the situation, to Koby at least.

He had woken up to the sound of a knock on the door, but before he could process answering it, the feeling of your warm body clinging to his side immediately overwhelmed his consciousness. Koby took a moment to compute when the knock came again.

He had slept with the Princess. But not in a dirty way! His captain’s uniform was still on, maybe with a few buttons undone for the sake of comfort, but they certainly did not engage in any… intimate acts. At least to his knowledge. They just slept. Together.

Koby then remembered. You had asked him to stay the night, and he agreed. He agreed?

Koby blushed.

The third knock snapped him out of it and he tried to get up, just to be caught by you.

He was not supposed to be in the Princess’s chambers after dark, after all, he was only a Marine captain hired to be her guard until she got matched and married. Then he was supposed to leave!

This wasn’t supposed to happen.

Though he was not… opposed.
