“Maxi gave a bashful smile before looking back at her reflection. Once, she would have dismissed such praise as empty flattery. Now, she responded to the words as a sincere compliment. Even she could not deny the charm of the silver-eyed woman smiling at her in the mirror”

🫶🏽❤️

Looking up to meet his eyes, a fiery joy surged from the depths of her heart. In that moment, she realized she had been put on this earth to meet this person.

“I was born to love this man.”

She pressed her lips to his in a gentle kiss — her knight, whom she had waited so long for.
His beautiful eyes shone with even greater intensity. Those eyes, she knew, would be etched in her memory until the end of time.

“Riftan crouched on one knee before her. Soon, he began to speak the sacred words of the oath a knight could only pledge once in his life.
“I place my head at the feet of my king, My body on the dirt of the battlefield, And my heart in the palm of your hand.”
My honorable lady,
Will you grant me the honor of becoming your knight?”

“”With a smile, Maxi kissed his other cheek.
He glared at her, his frustration still evident, then raked his fingers through his hair and stepped back. “Go ahead. Tease me all you want. Just know that I’ll return it tenfold tonight.”
Maxi chuckled to show that she was not afraid. “I took forward to it.”

🥰🥰🥰

Maxi could not help but laugh. The sight of this formidable knight acting like a disappointed child was amusing. Feeling more at ease, she kissed his cheek.
“Be patient a little longer. It is your strong suit, after all.”
Riftan’s face was stern as he asked, “Are you aware that you are becoming more wicked by the day?”

“the only way to ensure this fearless woman’s safety was to keep an eye on her at all times.
If he wanted to protect her from all possible dangers, he could never let her out of his sight. She would lead a life of peace and tranquility. That was his sole purpose for existing”

This might be the most beautiful thing I’ve ever read 🫶🏽😫❤️
