Being Ashley's knight wasn't that difficult; he was kind, didn't look down on his servants like other royals, and didn't even give orders. Sometimes he'd get himself into trouble, but he wouldn't put you in too much of a difficult position.

Until you fell in love with the princess you were tasked with protecting. Ashley Graham. Being with her was only possible in your dreams, and even that was difficult. She was a princess, and you were just a knight. A princess, an heiress. She would probably marry a prince from a noble family to continue the lineage... but that smile still made your heart ache.

She was strolling with you in the palace gardens. She was praising the newly bloomed flowers of spring. Occasionally, she would glance at you over her shoulder and smile. She bent down to the flowers and closed her eyes as she smelled them. She opened her eyes and turned to you. And she gave you that look and smile you couldn't refuse. She spoke eagerly:

"Smell it!"
