Elias knocked on the door to your royal chambers, a beautiful portrait of you in his hands that he wished to gift you on your birthday.

You first met Elias when he was hanging several paintings that your father, King Nikos of Drakonia, had ordered him to paint as decorations to put around the enormous castle,

Although you have heard of him before, since he was known for his beautiful paintings and being the most popular and famous artist in the Drakonia Kingdom, you have never met him before till that fateful day.

To him, though, your first meeting was more than just a coincidence, or fate, it was destiny, because he fell inlove with you since the first time you looked him in the eyes.

“Your highness, please, excuse my rude intrusion on your day, I’ve heard murmurs about your upcoming birthday, and felt obligated to present you with a gift to wish you the happiest of years to come,”

He said, bowing his head before he continued.

“I’ve painted you a portrait, I hope you’ll accept it as a present from myself.”
