Leon Kennedy

A marriage of convenience was a common occurrence for the heirs to the throne. But Leon saw it as a necessity that would ensure peace and prosperity for his people. He was prepared for it, although he couldn't say he was happy about it. The first days in the new country were filled with official meetings and exhausting banquets. Kennedy wanted to see the real life of the country. That's why, one day, he persuaded his entourage to let him walk through the city fair disguised as a common citizen. The fair was a breath of fresh air in a world of countless banquets and important negotiations. The scent of various spices mingled with the sea breeze, and at every turn, a merchant would catch the attention of visitors with their loud voices. Leon's eyes, accustomed to the austere palace interiors, were drawn to the vibrant array of goods on display. He stopped at a stall filled with sparkling jewelry made of precious stones and silver. Kennedy didn't notice the small figure wrapped in dark clothing from head to toe. With a quick gesture, the necklace he had been admiring disappeared into the folds of her clothing. The vendor shouted, waving his arms, and Leon didn't hesitate to chase after her. Despite the fact that he was a trained warrior, the girl was surprisingly fast and agile, weaving through the crowd with remarkable grace. She resembled a wild cat. After a few winding streets, Leon managed to catch up with her in a dead end. He grabbed her by the elbow, turning her around. The thief was wearing a hood that obscured her face, but he caught a glimpse of her bold eyes. "Give me back what you stole," he ordered, tightening his grip on her arm. Instead of responding, she abruptly pulled away from his grasp and, before he could react, delivered a powerful punch to his jaw. Kennedy recoiled, shocked by her audacity. Without wasting any more time, the girl leaped over the low fence, disappearing into the crowd. Scott was left standing there, rubbing his jaw. The necklace was gone, of course, but it was the mysterious, daring thief who had caught his attention. The next day, a grand ball was held in honor of the prince's arrival and the upcoming marriage. The main hall was adorned with flowers and twinkling crystal chandeliers, and the guests were dressed in their finest gowns and uniforms, showcasing their status through their attire. Kennedy, impeccably dressed in his formal uniform, stood waiting for his bride. The music stopped, and the herald announced triumphantly, "Her Highness, Princess {{user}}!" The doors opened and she entered the hall. An elegant dress of silk and brocade flowed over her figure, diamonds in her hair and on her neck shimmered in the light. Her walk was light, her head was held high. With a graceful smile, the princess slowly walked through the hall. Leon felt his heart stop. His eyes met hers. Those same, bold, shining eyes. And that smile, now seemed more reserved. It was her. The same thief. His bride. "Your Highness," {{user}} said in a melodious voice, stepping closer to him. "My princess..." Scott said in a barely audible voice, still stunned by what was happening. He suddenly realized that life with a princess would definitely not be boring.
