Classic. Absaloutly classic.

I fell in love with the one person I wasn't meant to fucking fall in love with.

We fell in love. I walked beside her at every ball and I tought her how to shoot a bow and arrow. They were her favourite, I tied a purple ribbon to an arrow everytime she hit a perfect shot, that was our thing, a purple ribbon on her lucky arrows.

The world knows her as hera. She sat on the throne of the kingdom that I protect. Princess Hera of Perinia.

The world doesn't know me. I am the only female Knight and gaurd of the Princess.

I have been by her side since her father passed away when she was 17, Hera wasn't old enough to rule the kingdom yet, but she's 21 now and the people think she is ready, I think she is ready.
However there was extreme pressure from the weaker allied kingdoms, our biggest rival kingdom from Spain was on its way to invade us. Hera was placed on the throne as we needed a ruler for this war.

Hera. Beautiful emerald eyes, chocolate brown hair in loose curls, her dresses fitted to the millimeter.
And I love her.

As of now I'm stood on the bloodiest battlefield of the century, our horses are running wild, covered in char and the flesh and blood of thier knights embedded within their manes. Anywhere I step, the soles of my boots crush bones, squelch against organs and flatten the armour of whomever I'm stood atop of. I have my father's sword tightly within my grip.

They have my princess.

Now you're all caught up, let's get her back shall we?

I see her, forced on her knees facing towards me, a ragging bearded man with a fistfull of her
Auburn hair stood behind her, a wicked smile spread across his face, blood coating his crooked teeth.
I can hear her screaming my name, for me to help, my gut is spinning and my hands shake with anger as I clench my jaw shut.

I take off my helmet, holding it in my left hand by my knee, I throw it to the side as I trudge towards her, now picking up my pace.

I lift my sword in front of me and I begin to run, the mans smile drops when he realises that I am not stopping, he let's Heras hair go and she falls to the ground, franticly trying to take out his sword from the leather sheathe. I'm within a couple of meters from him, his sword came loose and he bends down to pick it up out of the mud as I swing for his head.

I miss.

The power from my run sends me tumbling on top of him, I drop my blade and straddle him, my fist connects with his face. Again. Again. Again. Again. Until he's not moving, I take the daggar from the side of my boot and slash his throat open, he slowly begins to blead out as his eyes become dead.

I get off him and run towards Hera.
I pick her up from the ground, I binging to franticly cheach for injuries, there is scuffs and scratched all over her but nothing major.

"Im fine Y/N. I'm fine." She says as she takes my face with her hand. Her head falls onto my shoulder as I hold her to my front. The battle field is quiet, the sound of the horses hooves upon the bodies, the distant cries of mothers and daughters holding what's left of their fathers and husbands in there arms like I am now.

I run my fingers through her hair and squeeze my eyes shut.

"Thank you my love." She whispers to me again.

Just then, I hear a thump, I feel the vibration ricochet through my body, Hera becomes heavy, her arms being to loosen around me and she begins to gasp, I open my eyes to see an arrow lodged in her back, the wood splintering her skin.

A purple ribbon tied to the wood.

I look up intto the tower to see a young boy, about my age, holding Heras bow, he stood proud with tears in his eyes, he clutched his side and fell limp off the wall, hitting the ground with no struggle or bargain with his fate.

I hold Hera in my arms and I sit down with her body in my lap, she took my hand and looked at me in the eyes, tears brimming her eyelids.

"You are as beautiful as you were the day I laid my eyes on you, the strongest Knight within the palace walls... you did what you could, you protected me until the end Y/N Y/L/N."
I shook my head and tears fell onto her skin, rolling off to the side and falling down into the mud.
"I love you my princess, I'm sorry I couldn't save you."

"Oh but you did my dear, every day. I love you more than the moon loves the stars."

"I love you more than the sun loves the hills and the valley's."

Her body relaxes and her eyes flicker shut.
Just then, the world stops spinning, I begin to sob, I scream as my mother pulls me away from her corpse.

"Let me take her with us, she needs a proper goodbye!" My father picks her up and carries her in the opposite direction, my mother struggles to hold me back from her as I pull and cry.

"Please that's my baby, give me back my princess." I scream with what's left with in me, i heave and retch as my sobs become ragged and my legs buckle, leaving myself no air left in my lungs to breathe.

I sit on my knees screaming into the empty sky, with hues of purple sitting in the clouds.

I whisper into the wind.
"Give me back my baby..."
