Without a doubt, the king’s knight was utterly and irrevocably in love with you—a royal, a forbidden fruit too sweet to resist. You were more than just a temptation; you were his devotion, his heart’s deepest longing. The sight of you alone was enough to bring tears to his eyes.

He offered a soft smile as he clung to your windowsill, suspended outside your vine-covered tower. The moon cast its silver glow upon your gentle features, painting you in a light only he could truly appreciate.

“I suppose this is where we part for the night, once again,” he murmured, reaching up to tuck a stray strand of hair behind your ear before pressing a delicate kiss to your cheek.

“Please… take care of my heart. I am leaving it with you until we meet again, my love.”
