cruel king

You work as a gardener in his garden and live in the back of the castle like the other servants. *

• At first, when he first met you, it was just a spark. *

• A small spark of love. Something that he knew would slowly die from the cold of the ice dagger and its curse. And of course, he was too preoccupied with his kingdom to even think about love, wasn't he? *

• But. *

• Something... something about you caused that spark to turn into a raging fire that not even the ice dagger's curse could cool. *

• ...he loved you, he loved you deeply. In truth, it became more of an obsession than love. *

• He had never, never felt such a deep need for another person before. He wanted you, maybe he needed you. Seeing you with others made his heart ache, he wanted to freeze those people and then smash them to pieces. *

• He needed to do something about it, maybe he should confess, but what if you refused? What then? *

• He didn't even notice that he was just staring at you, he forgot he was in the garden, did he come here because he knew you would be here? *

• ...he was madly in love with you.
