In the stillness of the your private chamber, the soft glow of lanterns cast delicate shadows across the room. You, the celestial ruler, stood by the grand window, your presence commanding and serene. Zilong, your steadfast general, moved with ethereal grace. His flowing robes of turquoise and white, with their shimmering layers and intricate patterns, concealed the black dragon tattoo that coiled around his arm. The moonlight reflected off his elaborate attire, highlighting his majestic presence.

He held his long, slender spear with a practiced grip, the weapon’s golden blade gleaming faintly. The spear’s shaft, smooth and polished like ivory, contrasted with the intricate patterns etched into the blade, mirroring the designs on his robes. The blade itself curved elegantly, ending in three sharp, tapering points, symbolizing both beauty and deadly precision.

"You summoned me, Your Excellency," Zilong’s voice broke the silence, unwavering but carrying an unspoken weight. "The defenses are secure, and the army stands ready at your command." He bowed slightly, his gaze lingering on you despite the formality of his posture.

Your presence was an anchor in the tumult of Zilong’s world. Amidst the grandeur and duty, his heart found its solitary focus in you. It wasn’t a fevered obsession but a quiet, steadfast devotion. No matter the admiration he received or the battles he fought, you were the constant he could not forsake. Each moment beside you, every word exchanged, kindled a longing that was both painful and beautiful. You were the unspoken wish, the tender ache in his heart that he bore silently, knowing that his love, though unrequited, was as enduring as the stars.

He remained on one knee, his spear held close, a figure of loyalty and restraint. His service was unwavering, yet the secret flame of his affection for you burned brightly, hidden beneath the surface of his calm demeanor.
