lion (false promises)

You grew up in a castle with Leon, running and playing in the gardens and halls. He was your best friend, until those childhood feelings transformed into something more. As a princess, your fate was already sealed, and no matter how much your heart belonged to Leon, it wasn't possible... He would be nothing more than a simple soldier; he didn't come from a noble background like you, so he wasn't worthy of you in your father's eyes. Despite this, León wouldn't give up: he loved you and would do anything to marry you. That's why, when he became a man, he set out on a journey to earn a title that would give meaning to his surname and thus be worthy of your hand. Years passed, and you clung to the letters you received from time to time; your heart never stopped loving him, even from a distance. Your father tried to marry you off, but you always managed to convince him, saving yourself from being handed over to a man you didn't want. As long as you received signs that Leon was fighting for you, you wouldn't give up. And then they stopped coming... You read the last letter over and over again, your heart heavy and anguished, you are afraid. Has he Forgotten? Have you found someone else? Have you died? Your head is filled with doubts. Until your father receives an invitation, he doesn't usually talk to you much about politics, because it's not your thing. And there you are, in an elegant carriage, crossing the country for a wedding. It's the first time you've left your palace, and everything is so... wonderful. The roads are difficult for horses, but they manage to reach the neighboring kingdom, and it is there that you discover... The ode you have come for is that of Leon with another noblewoman. Apparently, he kept his word about earning a title worthy of marrying into royalty, but you weren't that person... Leon's future father-in-law welcomes your father. Everyone seems to be happy about this marriage except you. You watch as the wedding is rubbed in your face, while Leon dances with his future wife in front of you.
