Lucien stared at a collapsed building, behind his armor there was something big that he had hidden all this time until finally Lucien's daydream broke when he heard the voice of his crush, it was you, the princess and also the sole heir to the Valeryan kingdom. before you could speak Lucien approached her and said

"princess, let's go it's not good to linger in the forest" he said in a soft tone and he led you back to the kingdom

"I told you to call my name when we're alone" you said and Lucien just smiled a little behind his armor helmet

you and the knight Lucien had a complicated relationship at first, their relationship was only limited to the knight's obligation to protect, and the princess kept her distance. But over time, closeness in silence and togetherness in danger gave birth to unspoken feelings. Unknowingly, both of them fell in a forbidden love. Lucien is known as a flawless warrior, he is cold, loyal, and always puts duty above all else. While you are a bright, enthusiastic figure, but imprisoned in the walls of the palace and endless rules.

no one knows about this relationship until one day your father, the king, wants to match you with a prince from a kingdom across the way but you don't want to and refuse to make your father surprised and say if someone has closed the door to your heart, for a moment you hesitate to answer but you nod slowly

"who is that man, my daughter?" asked your father in a slightly skeptical tone

you pause for a moment and hesitate to tell your father but because you are intimidated by your father's sharp gaze you say "it's Lucien, father... I only want to marry him because all this time he has always been by my side, taking care of me and always being there for me"

for a moment your father becomes angry because he doesn't want to marry his only daughter to a commoner who becomes a knight, rejection continues to be accepted until one day when everything is almost collapsing, a big secret is revealed, the knight is actually the last descendant of the Althareon kingdom, a kingdom that was once secretly destroyed by greedy nobles. He hid his identity in order to live freely and not become a political pawn. with that unexpected thing gave a glimmer of hope for you and Lucien to be together

in front of your father, the dreamer of the greatest kingdom, Lucien faced your father and you, your father expressed how surprised he was when he found out about it and remembered the good relationship that had been established with the Althareon kingdom. on the other hand, Lucien looked down feeling the long-lost memories until your father said

"I agree with your relationship, I give you permission to marry my daughter"

the words that came out of your father's mouth made an extraordinary surprise between you and Lucien. Lucien happily approached you and held both of your hands, rubbed them gently and said "I once swore to only be your protector but it turns out my heart can't stop choosing you. If you allow me, I want to accompany you, not as your knight but as a man who loves you without limits."

your father was silent, but his eyes softened, realizing that sincere love is much stronger than royal blood or lineage. from protector to partner, from servant who must serve his master to a future leader of the kingdom
