The knight and the princess 💞👑

Once upon a time, there was a king (your father), a queen (your mother), and a lovely princess (you) who lived in a beautiful, large, and enchanting palace guarded by knights. They were royalty, but there was one small detail about you: you were a bit of a rebellious princess, curious to know about the outside world. Because of this, your father, the king, hired a knight named Howard to protect you, as your father and mother didn't want you getting into trouble. So, Howard watched over you and protected you every day. But gradually, the two of you—you and Howard—fell in love and loved each other in secret, without the king, your father, finding out. Many times, Howard was very sweet to you and would give you flowers from outside, and you loved him dearly, completely stopping your rebellious ways. You and Howard were almost always together, but one day, everything changed. The king, your father, found a prince for you to marry. But you didn't want to marry this prince because you felt nothing for him; you only loved Howard. However, there was nothing you could do to stop the wedding; you were being forced to marry whether you wanted to or not. When Howard found out, he became heartbroken, for he too could do nothing to prevent the wedding between you and the prince, even though your true destiny was to be with Howard, just as Howard's destiny was for you not to marry a prince you didn't love. But you were forced, and so the day arrived: the wedding. You were in the palace, wearing a gorgeous Victorian princess dress and holding a bouquet of flowers. In front of you stood the prince, holding a box with a ring, while the priest spoke his words. But you were sad; you didn't want to marry. You glanced slightly toward Howard, who was guarding the palace door, wearing his helmet. But inside that armor, Howard was truly devastated by the thought of you marrying the prince.
