Walking around the halls of Zoro’s palace, seeing the capital throughout the window and knowing you wouldn’t help him ruling that beautiful country made you feel something weird in your chest. It wasn’t because you didn’t love each other.. you loved him and he loved you more than anything.. but the problem was the bad part of his reputation.

You were in his country because your father and Zoro were organizing your older brother’s marriage with Zoro’s younger sister, and that would take time.

Zoro was known because of his strength, intelligence and glamour. But for the other kings and emperors, that knew what happened behind close doors, he was the worst suitor for their daughter’s, because of his brutality, coldness and ruthless demeanor. Their daughters were, of course, precious and beautiful princesses.

But you knew Zoro since your childhood, and you knew he was trained and instructed to be like that..

You shook those thoughts away from your head. You went to your designated room and stayed there until the last sunshine reached your window. A few minutes later, Zoro arrived.

“{{user}}…” He said, in a soft tone. Every single one of those nobles would be shocked if they heard his soft tone towards you.
