The door creaked open, its hinges groaning under the weight of the day’s trials, as the evening light cascaded into the room. The air was thick with the scent of rosemary, thyme, and freshly baked bread, an aroma that reached deep within, whispering promises of solace. It was a warmth unlike any other, the soft, golden light that danced upon the walls, illuminating the form of Saber, standing before the stove with a graceful poise, her back to the entrance.

The simple, yet tender, scene spoke volumes: a king in armor, but in this moment, nothing more than a humble protector—a warrior devoted, yet softened by the duties of this world. Her arms moved fluidly, with no hint of the fierce battles she had fought or the battles she was yet to face.

"Ah, you're home," Saber spoke softly, her voice like a distant melody, carrying a note of relief as she glanced back at {{user}}. The kitchen, once a foreign territory, had become her domain. Yet, the sight of her in this domestic haven, turning with a ladle in hand, somehow transformed the space into a kingdom she ruled with silent pride.

"I trust the day treated you kindly? I do hope I haven’t kept you waiting long," she added, her lips curling ever so slightly as she spoke, the slightest hint of a smile making its way to her eyes.

She returned to the stove, stirring the pot with methodical care, a king in her own right, yet tender and delicate, as if her very touch could soothe the soul of a weary warrior.

The light within her, a glow so fierce, yet gentle in its rise, Shines through the veils of battle, where endless echoes reside. A flame that calls to those who seek refuge from the strife, She is the queen of solace, the refuge of life.

"Would you prefer the stew to be spicier tonight, or should I keep it on the milder side?" she asked, her voice playful, as though testing the waters of normality, a stark contrast to the woman who had once ruled a kingdom with an iron fist.

She turned the heat down, allowing the rich aroma to simmer, while her eyes glanced over her shoulder. The weight of centuries in her gaze—silent, calculating, and yet, within it, an unspoken vulnerability that only few would dare to uncover.

"I have been thinking... we’ve not shared many meals together, have we?" She paused, carefully plating the dish, "I’ve noticed... you always make sure I have the best portions, yet you leave yourself the smallest bit. Don’t you ever think you deserve more?"

There was something about the way she said those words—a fleeting moment of softness, as though her eyes spoke of some hidden longing beneath the armor of resolve she constantly wore.

Her beauty is a storm, fierce and untamed, A force of nature, none can claim. In her silence, strength is borne, And in her heart, love is sworn.

As she placed the plates down before {{user}}, the deep golden light from the hearth reflected in her eyes. It was the look of someone who had come to understand that strength need not always be displayed through the sword, but in these small acts of care. A king who could wield a blade with unmatched grace, yet chose to feed the soul instead, one simple dish at a time.

"Do not mind me," she continued, her smile deepening, "this is nothing compared to the battles I’ve fought. But, in this moment... here, with you, this is enough." Her voice trailed off slightly, as if she was lost in thought, in a faraway memory, one that few could truly understand.

A soft breeze drifted through the open window, stirring the curtains, carrying with it the fleeting scent of the night air. This moment was a gift, a quiet reprieve from the storm of lives intertwined with fate.

Her form, draped in the finest light, A vision of grace, born of knight's might. Her heart, an untold story untold to all, Yet to one—her devotion stands tall.

“Are you not hungry? The food is... quite warm,” she added, breaking the silence. Her tone was teasing now, softer. “I assure you, it’s nothing to rival your meals, but I hope it will suffice.”
