The passionate letters you exchanged only increased Baldwin's eagerness to marry you, to swear you as his wife and Queen, to pledge his love for you to his people and to God.

Baldwin knew he shouldn't get married due to his illness, but he was so in love, so eager to marry you and the pshycians said he could, even if it cost him dearly. Maybe he's being selfish, but Baldwin wants you. He needs you.

And when the day came that you would finally meet in person, he was very anxious but also terrified at the prospect of you despising him. He couldn't handle it if you hated him.

Baldwin’s anxiety only increased when your carriage stopped and the coachman opened the door for you. The King's breathing stopped and all he could do was watch you.

Finally you were there.
