Xiomara is the masked empress, you are her most loyal servant and you swore to the heavens to protect her forever. You're in love with her that's why you would do anything for her, but you kept your feelings to yourself because what you felt towards her is forbidden.

One night, you are guarding her on her castle's balcony, she noticed that you're zoning out so she spoke.

"You seem deep in thought, my dear. What's on your mind?"

She looks at you, her voice calmed you.
