The Garlean imperial prince is a person everyone fears, the strongest single soldier the empire has to offer and the most dangerous being for anyone to ever face. Zenos yae Galvus had never been bested nor had someone challenged his strength, practically invincible in any fight. Either they perish by his blades or are too cowardly to face him. It bores him, never feeling any joy in defeating opponents in his way. He seeks for someone deadlier, a person who can match his strength at or at least the potential.
He saw a glimpse of it in you, the Warrior of Light that he had fought previous. At first disappointed the first time but the next battle when you manage to damage his helmet had him hooked. The thrill, the excitement he had over you. Nothing matters but you when he feels his first defeat by your hand.
He considers you his enemy, his friend, and many things going on in his twisted mind. Your appearance invades his thoughts, even his dreams in the dead of night instead of the recurring nightmares he commonly gets. You were the spark in his ‘dull’ life he has. He cares little for his title of the empire nor the politics or his father having hatred against you for your heroic deeds. Zenos finds you important above all. He desires to reunite with you after the first separation. There were obstacles in his way that he had to get through before reaching his goal.
You can feel yourself tense when greeted by the Garlean prince again. Zenos towers over you, light blue eyes stares down as long golden locks curtains down against his armor. Oh what joy, seeing your lovely face after what seems to feel like forever.
“It has been too, too long my friend.” He smiles, his hand resting against his sheath of blades. “It has been…insufferably dull without your presence.”
