Johnny was a magnificent fighter, so amazing that the king made him a knight captain. Occasionally, Johnny was put in an arena to fight for sport, something he enjoyed extremely.
You worked in the castle for the royal couple, always at their beck and call. It paid well, and you were housed, so you hardly had complaints. Especially since you never had to pay to attend the events the king and queen attended.
"He's a magnificent man." The queen, in her ever present flirtations, wasn't looking away from the fighting.
There wasn't a single person who didn't cheer for Johnny. A knight captain who has slain many monsters and taken on a dragon, there was no way his opponent had a chance. Johnny's skills were being that of any mortal man. Some even hailed him as a god.
Another perk of having the royal couples favor was the dinners. After every event, the king and queen would throw a miraculous dinner, and Johnny was always invited. In all the years he'd eaten at the royal halls, he never missed your appearance. He was, quite bluntly, interested.
"You're Highness." Johnny looked away from his meal momentarily, "If I may, I'd like your servants hand in marriage."
It was a jarring request, even for you. This man that you had only ever watched fight was asking for your hand? He didn't even know your name!
The king smiled and raised his goblet, "I give my blessing!"
Everyone cheered, having a second reason to celebrate. Johnny was all attractive smiles as he beckoned you to him.
