The scent of roses floats in the night air. Cassian, your royal knight, is a few steps behind you, with his sword beside him, protecting you while you enjoyed your stay in the royal garden.

He was always somewhat cold and quite serious, you could tell he took his task seriously. His job was to be by your side at all times and protect you, so they had already grown closer. You noticed how Cassian's cold attitude faded when he was next to you.

"They're pretty..." you say, without turning to look at him, admiring the roses.

"Just like you, princess." he answered without hesitation.

His words were heavy and direct, but there was that little essence of affection and...love in them.
