When you and Luke were 13, the question came up once out of curiosity. "(Y/N) do you like being a knight?" young Luke asked, and you couldn't understand this simple question. "If it means having a role in life and having the honor to serve you, then yes I like being a knight." You answered, and Luke shook his head, "But what about being a lady?" "There is no escaping the fact that I was born female-" "No, I mean dressing up in wonderfully made dresses and falling in love like in the fairy tales," Luke said, and you paused to think. "I don't think I have any interest in falling in love," you said and looked at Luke who was not satisfied with your answer. You smiled, "I'd rather be by your side, my Prince, that beats falling in love with the riches noble in the entire kingdom," you said, and he laughed. "What kind of answer is that?" he asked and clung to your side continuing to ask you such trivial questions to amuse him... The moment Luke stomped out of the castle he was filled with confidence to see you again. The image of the last time he saw you was burned into his memory, you were sad but still stood with pride and independence. That was the you he grew up admiring. He was happy that he would finally get to see you again, to show you how much he has grown, and to finally give back your sword that you were forced to part with. He imagined you to be in your training clothes that was worn out and and have your hair messily tied up from finishing a work out, but instead, the moment he walked into your house and out to the garden he saw something he was not used to seeing, a lady. You stood there startled by him calling for you, you were in a rather luxurious dress that you never had the time to wear and your hair was combed and put up nicely. Peach pink stained your lips and cheeks, and you stood tall with heels that your feet fit perfectly in. Luke's confidence depleted and instead was replaced with stuttering and awe. "Prince Luke... What are you doing here?" you said frantically and hurried to his side. He tensed up when you placed your hand on his and demanded him to answer your question. "I wanted to see you," he answered simply, and you gave him a sad expression on your face. "I wanted to see you too, but you cannot do this. We were ordered to be separated, and I cannot stress the fact that you will get into trouble, please leave," you insisted, but Luke didn't budge. "I'm not leaving without you," he said. "Don't be silly, Luke, please just leave and go back to the castle." "No (Y/N), I want to be by your side, you even promised remember?" "Luke, that promise doesn't mean anything anymore... My knighthood was taken away from me; I can't fulfill such a promise anymore," you said. "I never said you had to be a knight to be by my side," he said, and you were starting to grow frustrated. "Please, can you just make this easy for the both of us?" "But you said-" "I know what I said!" you yelled and tried to hide how you truly felt. "Please Luke, just leave and let me keep my pride... I messed up, I've made a mistake, and I need to live with that fact... I've put my family's status on the line, and I don't want to ever put them in that position again," you said and cried into his chest. You felt his arms wrap around you, and he started to sway side to side to try and comfort you. "Do you regret everything?" he asked, and you nodded. "So that means you regret loving me?" he asked, and you paused to look up at him. "I-I... What?" you questioned. "You said you messed up... Made a mistake... Regret what you have done, yet the only thing you did was fall in love with me... Do you regret loving me?" he questioned again, and you felt the tears coat your cheeks. You shook your head and continued to reassure him that you really did love him with no regrets. Luke sighed and wiped your face with a spare handkerchief he had in his pocket. "I did not storm out of the castle just to visit and make you cry... You are so beautiful today, and I made you ruin your make up by making you shed tears..." he said and kissed your face gingerly. "This was not the reaction I wanted," he said and rubbed your cheek with his thumb. You started to realize how bold Luke was being, how he cupped your face and continued to wipe your tears with kisses. He gave you a small smile knowing that you were realizing his change. "What happened to the stuttering mess I've protected for 6 years?" you wondered, and he chuckled. "He isn't fully gone if that makes you happy. (Y/N) the day you were banished from castle grounds I decided to take matters in my own hands... I realized that I've depended on you for too long, and if I was going to take the throne, I would have to change all that... The me back then said nothing while you took the punishment, what kind of man silently watches the love of his life slip through his fingers?" he said, and you chuckled. "Love of your life? Prince Luke, that is too great of a compliment; I don't deserve such description," you said. "Did we not just confess a few minutes ago? You don't need to address me in such a way anymore..." he said while rubbing your cheek and giving you a fond look. Your heart started to beat faster, and your knees started to feel week by his gaze. "What are you talking about?" "I didn't just visit to return the sword, I do have intentions of taking you back with me," he said, and you wondered if you were going to be a knight again, but your assumption faded when he tilted your chin up to make you face him. "However, you will no longer serve as a knight, I want you by my side, but as my Queen..." he said with his words fading. Your eyes widened, and you didn't know if you wanted to reject the honor to rule the kingdom or cry tears of joy from his proposal. "Prin- Luke... What about your fiance? You cannot just break the agreement because you want to... Your marriage was an agreement and what if this angers her kingdom?" "Then I'll protect you... I'll face all the consequences, I don't care. No matter how dangerous the situation I will not run or hide behind you, not anymore... For you, a thousand times over, I will protect you. I will repay for all those years. I'll be the king that the kingdom needs as long as you are by my side," he declared, and you smiled... Luke kept his word about taking you back with him to the castle. It did take a while for him to convince his parents of this engagement, but somehow they went through with it saying that the princess has dissolved the agreement the moment he stepped out to find you. The wedding was held at the end of the month, and instead of placing a traditional ring on your finger, Luke gave back your sword while saying his vows. Although you were honored with your new position of being Queen, being a knight was in your blood. "Didn't I say I would protect you from now on?" he questioned. You smiled at him. "Yes but who would protect you my King?" you questioned back and faced the citizens of the kingdom while standing on the balcony. Luke raised his sword to declare his throne to the people. You smiled and kissed him feeling that your story was coming to an end. "Is she allowed to do that?" a fellow guard asked while looking at their fellow knight now a Queen and standing beside their new King. "Well, she is now," the guard answered, and they both nodded before continuing business as usual...

And they lived happily ever after...THE END.
