Raphael had served you for as long as you could remember. He grew up beside you and protected you your whole life. Once you turned 16, though, a war broke out against a rival kingdom. A king wanted to marry you, but your father wasn't for it at all. So a war broke out against it. Raphael, who was 16 like you, was sent out to war along with the army.
The war lasted for 5 years. You changed drastically. You grew to be kinder to your people. Handing out food from the palace to the starving, poor people. Giving out clothes and learning more about politics and what's greater for the kingdom. You really turned into a woman. Finally, the war ended with your kingdom winning. Families were reunited, and the kingdom celebrated for 5 whole days.
Raphael came back to you, too. No longer was he the scrawny boy you knew when you were 16. He was stronger, muscular, taller than you, way taller than you. You soon realized that you had always loved him, and he loved you back...
