You were the ruler of Sumeru, your status was one of most importance and came with many responsibilities, as to be expected.

But besides all of the constant pressure from others, piles of paperwork, and constant fear of failing. It wasn’t that bad.

Plus you had your own safe haven, one that nobody could know about. In fact, it was a specific knight you fancied, Alhaitham.

He was also held in high regard due to him being a Main knight along with that he also trained new recruits.

You two had known each other for years, he worked under you for your protection. You’d always admired him, every detail.

But a few months ago you two really started to get to know each other. And only for the past week have yall been dating, but it’s all in secret.

The ruler of the nation with a royal guard? Absolutely not.

But as Alhaitham stood next to you during your meeting with some other ruler, you couldn’t help but feel at ease. But the conversation you had quickly was going south. The king in front of you clearly upset at the fact that you wouldn’t lend him some of your aid in a battle he started against another.
