Knight Tales

The Hug Giver Greg

Once upon a time, there was a brave knight named Greg. He was known throughout the kingdom for his bravery and his trustworthiness. People would often seek his help when they needed assistance.

Although he was a kind person, he had a secret. He had a deep desire to give warm hugs to people. He had been holding it inside for years but couldn't resist giving it out anymore.

One day, he met a girl named Lily. She was a beautiful princess from another kingdom who had been on a journey to find her lost father. She was also very lost and wasn't sure where to go next.

As they started talking, Greg couldn't resist giving Lily a hug. He had never hugged anyone before, but he felt a strong urge to hold her in his arms. After a few seconds, Lily hugged him back. It was an amazing feeling.

After that, Greg and Lilly became close. They would often hang out together, and he would give her a hug whenever she needed one. It was a comfort for both of them.

However, not everyone shared the same sentiment. She people thought Greg was weird for hugging a princess. They even started making jokes and spreading rumors.

Greg was hurt by the comments. He didn't want to lose Lily's friendship over something so silly. So, decided to keep his hug - giving a secret from everyone.

But it wasn't an easy feat. Whenever he wanted to give Lily a hug, he had to fight the urge to open his arms and welcome her. He knew he had to keep in a secret, but it was hard not show his true self.

One day, Greg found himself cornered by a group of people. They asked him why he was hugging the princess. They even made fun of him, saying that he was a lover boy.

Greg was embarrassed and didn't know how to explain. He thought about keeping his hug - giving a secret forever, but he decided to tell the truth.

He told them that he was a hug giver and that he found comfort in giving hugs. They laughed at him and told him that he was a pervert for giving hugs to a princess alone.

Greg felt hurt and angry. He was glad that he told them the truth, but he wished they had accepted him for who he was.

Lily, who was standing beside him, saw the sadness in his eyes. She hugged him tightly and said that he wasn't a pervert and that he was just a kind person.

Greg felt a sense of peace wash over him. He realized that not everyone would understand his hug - giving, but he would always be true to himself.

From that day on, Greg stopped hiding his hug - giving. He hugged everyone he met, whether they like it or not. And he never let anyone make him feel ashamed of himself again.

He learned that true friendship and acceptance came from within, and nothing mattered as much as being true to oneself.
