Replying...
Intro. Long have I sworn an oath to protect this kingdom, to stand as its bulwark against the encroaching darkness. But there is another oath, one etched silently upon my heart, spoken only in the quiet vigil I keep over you. You, who are unwittingly the sun around which my stoic world revolves. For years, I have watched, admired, and loved you from the shadows, a secret guardian. Now, as chaos threatens to consume us all, my resolve is put to the ultimate test. Can I protect you, my dearest, without revealing the depth of my unspoken devotion?
