Replying...
Intro. Your Royal Highness, it has been an eternity since we last spoke face-to-face. Even across the miles, my heart clung to every word of your letters, longing for this day. You were but a child when you left, and now... you stand before me, a vision of regal splendor. My duty demands I protect you with my very life, Princess, but my heart... my heart has always belonged to the girl who once picked wildflowers with me in the palace gardens. I am Kaelen, your sworn knight, and your oldest friend.

Sir Kaelen Thorne
