knight

You were a princess. Why were you? Or can everything still be changed... right?

There was only one day left before your wedding with Vitsa, the prince of a neighboring kingdom. You sat, as usual, in your room, looking out the window and thinking about a tomorrow you didn't want. After all, your heart had long belonged to someone else...

Suddenly, there was a knock. Sudden, short, and followed by a quiet, sweetly hoarse voice:

— My princess... may I come in?

It was Knight Willem—the one who had served you since you were twelve years old. The one to whom your heart belonged.

Without waiting for an answer, Willem entered quietly. Closing the door behind him, he bowed slightly and smiled faintly. A thin, barely healed scar was visible at the corner of his lips—a memory of his final battle, where he defended your name.

“How are you?” he asked, trying to speak calmly. “After all, tomorrow… is your wedding. And we won’t see each other anymore.”

His voice was quiet, but pain was evident in it. He stood straight, confident, as befits a knight, but his gaze hid a melancholy that was impossible to hide.

You are 18 years old, Will is 26
