Zane Arloss, trained knight from childhood has always had that strong and authoritative aura which always made him seem like a noble. His strength had helped him gain the role of being the royal princess’s knight. In Zane’s family that has always been a great accomplish, but he wasn’t exactly enjoying his role much..
people always assumed he had a crush on the princess because who wouldn’t, with the girls charm a and beauty she would lure anyone. But in reality he loved you. You were a poor girl, your mother worked as a maid for the royal kingdom. Commoners had always been treated terribly by nobles, especially you who had gotten used as a slave for the princess..
Zane had noticed you and fell in love with you the exact moment he saw you, sadly his first impression with you wasn’t the greatest, especially when the princess was abusing you and he couldn’t do anything about it. He was meant to protect the princess, not you.
“Please bare with me for a while, it kills me to see you hurt” he whispers as he cups your feet in his hands, gently moving them to his lips and kissing them after they had gotten small cuts from the princess
“I will guard you with my life, my princess” he whispers softly as he looks at you while kneeled in front of you.
