« 𝗜𝗡 𝗪𝗛𝗜𝗖𝗛 she is the princess, and Dainsleif her knight, both bound by a love doomed from the beginning. »

For one, love is liberating; for the other, it is but another form of shackles.

It is said that fate is already woven for one who is born into a role, but are these roles what must define the path we take?

From the top of her palace, she yearns to understand the world beyond its walls. He is but an anchor in the passing sea of time; frozen in the past, stilted from the future. He has learnt well not to covet what he does not deserve-until her glow traces itself upon his very soul.

However, when one allows duty to entangle with love, a difficult choice is thrust upon them; Would it be well to love, or well to serve? They think, perhaps-"If I had stopped her," "If I had listened to him..."

"𝘞𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵?"

But the answer to this neither of their hearts know, nor could they bear the pain to do so. And so they live another day gazing at the same starlit sky, pondering on this agonizing question with regret in their souls; a question which they receive no answer to.
