@allygee1218 I  LOVED  it!

You  are  so  right ,  sickness  takes  so  much  from   a  person.
            Baldwin was  probably   the  best  king   that  ever  lived ,  and  his people   loved   him   for  exactly  the  reasons  you shared.
            I  liked  him from  the  start.
            So  tragic  that  he  never  found  someone  who  loved  him   just   for   being  him.
            And yes ,  his   illness ,which  was   nearly  always   fatal   back  then {unless  you  lived  in  Jesus's   time , he   healed  lepers   in   the Bible } , makes  the  romance  angle  truly   heartbreaking.
            I  hope   you  will   fall   in   love   with  my   novel ,  &   my    two  main     characters.
            Lea  &  William's   romance   is  truly  sweet  &  heartwarming.
            One  of  my  favorite  little  known  ww2  drama  films  inspired  it.
            Hope   you   enjoy!

            It really is tragic 
            And yes—both things can be true. Historically, Baldwin was often described as calm, thoughtful, and gentle in manner, but in battle he could be ruthless when he needed to be. That contrast is actually what fascinates a lot of historians: he wasn’t cruel by nature, but he understood war and didn’t hesitate when the kingdom was at stake.
            As for marriage—no, he never married and was never formally betrothed. His illness and the political situation made it incredibly complicated, and most sources suggest he knew he wouldn’t live long enough to build that kind of life. Which… honestly makes the romance angle even more heartbreaking.
            And your novel sounds beautiful  A WWII romance like that—gentleness surviving trauma—is exactly my kind of story. I’d genuinely love to read it. Lea and that dynamic sound right up my alley.
            I’m really excited for you to see how this slow burn unfolds 

@allygee1218 It's  so tragic  what  happens  to  Baldwin   at  the  end.
            I've  done  a  bit  of  reading   about   him , and  most  sources  stated  that  was  what   he  was  like.  Some  historians   said  he  could   be  ruthless   in  battle , was that  true?  That  sounds  completely  alien  to  how  you  described  him.
            Did  the  real -life   Baldwin  ever  marry ?   I  don't  even  remember  whether  he  was  betrothed  to  anyone  or  not.
            I  can't  wait   to  watch  their  romance  unfold.
            I  think  you would  like  my   novel    a   lot.
            It's  a ww2  romance   between  a     warm  &  loving   nurse   &   a   war  traumatized ,  but  still   gentle   young   soldier  with   a   spinal   cord  injury  that   my  OC  Lea  finds  true  love  with.
