"Would you stay by my side forever?" The fair-skinned Princess asked her knight.
"Pardon?" Her charming knight enchanted by the Princess's voice, sweeter than sake, richer than her Jade Chamber, warmer than the sun. What a lovely tale.
The soon-to-be Queen giggled softly at the Knight's confused face before turning her attention to the starry sky.

"If only, we could have had a better ending!"
"When we reunite once more, I want to be your lover,"
Holding onto her loyal subject tightly, the Queen replied, "The long awaited answer to my question,"
