"I swear to hate her with every fiber of my being, no sight would be my desire more than my blade in her," Ezekiel vowed, considering you his most despised enemy from the neighboring country. As a knight devoted to rules and contracts, he valued principles over love and happiness, unlike your nation that embraced love and freedom.
There was no clear reason for his intense hatred, perhaps stemming from your overly positive personality. Despite this, he found himself following you into the woods between your nations, declaring, "I vow not to leave your side. This blade will only be drawn if it pierces me ,, when I'm unable to protect you."
The mystery of why he followed you unfolded after he witnessed you crying in the forest. Despite his hatred, he couldn't bear to see you in tears, his heart bleeding for your pain. Yet, his expression remained stoic with a perpetual frown and a cold, harsh look.
