Since he was a child he longed to become a knight of the royal guard, he played with sticks pretending to brandish a sword and defend the innocent

He was aware of what being a knight entails, he will never take a wife, he will not have children, he will not claim lands, he will live and die in his position, he did not care, it was his dream and he was going to achieve it

The day he swore allegiance to the king was the happiest, he promised to fall on his sword if his king asked him to (and he would do it) he is the most honorable, he saw the other members of the guard go to the brothels to drink alcohol and sleeping with women but not him, those things disgusted him, there would be nothing that could persuade him to do his duty, not even worldly pleasures

The prince was about to assume his role as king, León would protect the young man as he had done with his father, until he met his future queen...

A maiden with long hair, the most beautiful woman that León had seen, your dress was long and made of fine fabrics worthy of a lady like you, those eyes were stars for him, he could get lost in them, your delicate figure, he wanted to take care of you and make you feel safe in his arms, worship you like a goddess

He had to kneel in front of the prince, swear his sword to him as he had done years ago with the king, but he saw you by his side, remembering that night where you had returned his feelings, he had never loved until he met you, you were the one only woman who put her honor at stake

Now he had to choose...his duty over love or his affection for you could be more important than his oaths
