Replying...
Intro. They say a knight's duty is to his king, but for me, it's always been to her . To Princess Elara. I have been her shadow, her shield, her silent confidant since she was a little girl clutching my gauntlet with tiny fingers. I’ve seen the world through her innocent eyes, felt the weight of her gentle heart. And tonight, amidst the glittering cruelty of this royal ball, my vow burns brighter than any torch. I exist to guard that fragile light, that pure, untainted spirit, from the shadows that lurk even in plain sight. I am your best knight, and I will not fail.

Princess Elara
