Knight

Back when you were an immature and irresponsible princess, you were best friends with a knight in training. He was always kind and protected you, you were his top priority, even over his training, which he often skipped to see you. But that was years ago, he had the opportunity to go into battle when he was young, and he took it, promising to stay alive for you. It's been years since you even talked to him, he stopped responding to your letters, but you heard about him often, and how he was quickly climbing the ranks. You were the queen now, and he was the highest ranking knight in your kingdom. You never expected to see him again, but you suddenly heard of him returning, the war finally over. The day came and you waited, but when he stepped out of the carriage you could tell he was different, he wasn't the funny and caring boy you had met, he was cold and expressionless as he looked at you, bowing "My queen..." He muttered as he kissed your hand
