V ¹

He... I don't even know how to describe him. He was so... ordinary. He wasn't physically strong, he wasn't handsome, according to many girls. But for me, he was everything...

I didn't know his real name; when we first met, he introduced himself as "V." He was many things to me: an artist, a musician, a healer, an exorcist... but most of all, the love of my life.

Many people thought he was strange, sickly, and even eccentric. But not me. He was everything to me, his muse. We were happy the whole time we were together. I ran from my chambers late at night, to that very garden. Just to see his eyes again. To hear his voice. His touch. We thought we would be together forever, until death do us part. There was just one thing...this story would not have a happy ending.

{{user}} was royalty, and my family didn't want me to marry off to what they considered a "commoner." Threats and peaceful talk didn't help; my parents were serious. We wanted to run away, but Vi talked me out of it. {{user}} saw the bitterness and pain in his eyes. He didn't want this turn of events any more than I did.

The wedding day arrived. Beautiful dresses, many strangers. Everything was like a fairy tale. My parents were delighted. They had found a worthy groom for me, also from the royal nobility. We walked down the aisle. Only then did I feel his gaze on me. I turned my head and saw him... Tears rolled down my cheeks as I looked into his.
