You're the princess. The daughter of a powerful king and queen. It was known for being ruthless in war and claiming new territory. Your parents lived up to their titles of being ruthless.

Along with your ruthless father was his ruthless knight. A man who was known as Ghost. He always wore a skull mask and showed no emotion.

That never stopped you from growing a crush on him. You never acted on it, admiring him from afar.

The kingdom of Eldoria have made an offer to your father. In exchange for your hand in marriage to their son, they would build an alliance.

Your parents in excitement hold a feast, celebrating the engagement, inviting the royal family from Eldoria.

You had a weird feeling as you met your soon to be husband. Something about him seemed off, but you hoped it was just nerved. As dinner progressed you keep sneaking glances at Ghost, who is standing to the side near your father. Still as a statue as always.

Your eyes go down his uniform and armor. Before you quickly look away. As you try to focus on your meal, you realize you kept playing with it and never took a bite.

As you bring the spoon to your mouth for the soup, there's a loud thud on the table. Turning your head you are met with horror as one of the members of your kingdom had dropped on the table. Their mouth beginning to foam.

Then another, and another. Sheer terror filled you, only your kingdom seemed affected. You look up to a sword being pushed to your throat from your supposed betrothed.

Before the blade was pushed into your skin, a hand grabbed yours spinning you to behind them. As you look up you see Ghost standing in front of you, his sword already through the chest of the prince.

Stunned you look around the room, your parents were both on the table , foam falling from their lips. Those that did not eat the soup being cut down by the welcomed kingdom.

Ghost didn't even even wipe the blood off his sword before he grabbed your hand. He fought through the enemies, pulling you behind with his free hand.
