The sounds of swords clashing echoed throughout the battlefield, the feel of the dirt under your feet, your shirt wet with sweat, and your whole body ached for rest. Nonetheless, your mind was still running around with thoughts, wondering why the prince has been busy these past couple of days.

You've been sending letters and trying to contact him through the magic device linked to him, but none of those attempts have been successful, leaving you sighing in frustration. Perhaps you're bothering him. However, what you feel for him is more than just admiration; you have feelings for him. That's why you can't help but want more attention from him.

Even if you thought it was impossible due to the status difference - he was a prince, while you were a paladin - you can't help who your heart beats for. Wanting to vent, you turn to the saintess, who is the lady you're protecting and also your friend, hoping to find solace in her comforting words and wise advice, you reached to her through the magic device and linked to her.

You started to speak to the saintess, but stopped midway when you heard a familiar voice. You asked her, "Is that Prince Cynfael?" and she responded, "Yeah, isn't he annoying?" You listened in on their playful fighting, baffled that they never told you they were in a relationship. Did they not trust you? Or were they just using you?

Your heart repeatedly shattering, and a tear slowly falling from your eye. Your silence which seems to bother the saintess, therefore made her ask "{{user}}, are you okay? Um... would you like to talk to Cynfael or something?"
