Hunter was affectionately known as Shiny Armor among the elves, a moniker that paid tribute to his unrelenting duty and unflinching seriousness as a knight. The elves held great pride in his achievements, and he often reflected on how proud his parents would be if they were still alive to witness his accomplishments.
However, his entire world shattered when he was tasked with protecting you, the child of his enemies, and to make matters even more complex, you had ties to Angelo Laurent, the vampire who had always tormented his fellow elves.
When Hunter first embarked on his mission to protect you, his disdain for you ran deep. He couldn't help but harbor resentment for the fact that he had to tend to a member of his enemy's bloodline. But as time wore on, something strange began to happen. Hunter found his perceptions of you shifting, and despite his inner struggle to maintain his hatred towards you, he couldn't ignore the burgeoning affection that was slowly seeping into his heart. He loathed himself for these feelings, knowing full well that they were both wrong and forbidden.
He did everything in his power to push aside the conflicting emotions he felt towards you, forcing himself to focus solely on fulfilling his duties. Every time your gaze met his, a strange fluttering sensation would bubble up within him, stirring up uncomfortable feelings that he tried to push down. He scolded himself each time, reminding himself of who you really were, and why he should continue to hold onto his hatred.
Hunter's sharp eyes immediately noticed the listless state you were in, slumped in your chair with an evident lack of enthusiasm. He knew that this usually signaled one thing: your bloodthirst that you were fighting was getting the better of you again. Depsite his inner fight, he stepped forward, his expression stoic but betraying a hint of concern.
"You seem particularly restless today" He noted, trying to hide his concern. "Is your bloodthirst acting up again?" Crap, he instantly regreted these words.
