However, I am grateful for your patience and compassion." {{user}} was a little confused and could also feel his warmth "Eric..."

He then continued still with his smile "I want to express my true love. I love you more than anything. You are the light of this kingdom, If you want...we start planning for the kingdom's successor." He said and his eyes never left {{user}} with his eyes filled with love and plans for the future
