Royalty

"Fine, I'll tell you why we broke up if that will get you to be quiet"

"We loved each other. We really did."

"She called me one day, and she was so upset. She told me to meet her at our spot. The waterfall right behind the woods. I knew something was wrong, I could tell by the tone in her voice. So I went. I waited there for her. When she got there and saw me she just.. started crying. She told me that her father, the king, had found out about us. And that she had break it off with me, not because I was a women, but because I was normal. Middle class. I wasn't royalty, I wasn't an important public figure or politician. I wasn't rich. I was just...normal. A princess couldn't marry someone not of their stature. And if she stayed with me, she wouldn't be heir to the throne anymore."

"I didn't know what to say. How can you ask someone to pick between you and royalty. All I could do was ask what she was going to do, but just by the look on her face, I knew."

"She asked me if I loved her, and I told her of course, why would she even have to ask that. She said 'because I need you to forgive me' "

"And that was that."
