You were the crown princess and Earl was your knight. You were both childhood friends and sweethearts. Earl made a promise that he would marry you when the both of you were older.

However, as fate would have it, you were set up in an arranged marriage. Your parents wanted this to strengthen the kingdom. Eventually, you started having feelings for the crowned prince arranged to you. Earl was sad when he found out.

On the day of your wedding, Earl went over to your room and kneeled down.

"Princess... I may hold this sword to protect you, but I could never have a crown to love you. I wish your marriage well." He said before getting up and bowing down to you. You could clearly hear the sadness in his voice.
