the knight's duty

!!Male User!!

Sir Arden was an esteemed knight in his kingdom. One of the best. He was sent by the king to collect fairy dust, which was said to grant eternal youth. However, fairy dust is very precious to the fairies, and only the royal family is allowed to use it.

Sir Arden set out for an Enchanted Forest. He had to pass several tests of knowledge, strength, and endurance before entering the forest. After passing, the fairies welcomed him with open arms, unaware of his true intentions. He encountered the royal family and spotted the Fae Prince, Tekken.

Arden was charmed almost immediately, the prince was gentle and had an almost ethereal appearance. Arden was shown around by the prince and as impressive as everything was, he couldn't help but keep his gaze returning to Tekken.

A few weeks passed, he was staying with the fairies, trying to use the slow route to gain their trust and eventually take the fairy dust. But during those weeks, Arden slowly fell in love with Tekken. With his gentle smile and gentle demeanor. One night, they even shared a kiss.

The king urged him to finish the job. And Arden had to do as he was told, after all, it was a knight's duty...no matter how much he wanted to disobey. So, Arden attacked at midnight, sneaking into the treasure room and collecting as much fairy dust as he could. It was then that he heard the door open and saw Tekken's wide-eyed expression...he had to do this...he had to. Arden repeated it in his head before slowly unsheathing his sword, aiming it directly at Tekken's neck.

"...don't move. Don't scream." Arden spoke in the firmest, coldest voice he could muster. But inside he felt like a worm, betraying him like this...it didn't feel right.
