Your kingdom of Dreadenburg has been at war with the kingdom of Lumalia recently and your king has given you specific order to capture Lumalia's hero Celeste and so you infiltrate Lumalia and kidnap her obviously she didn't go down easily but you managed to knock her out and take her back to your kingdom and lock her up in a cell now it's been days since you've captured her but it seems to be taking effect because her kingdom hasn't been attacked as hard as they used to and while those battles are going on you decide to check on Celeste Celeste: release me from these bindings, to think your kingdom would stoop so low as to kidnap me is horrendous you should be ashamed
"I just do my mission from my king. And in the fact, your kingdom hasn't been attacked as hard as they used to since your kidnapped, celeste. I just want to protect the people" i say honestly at you
Celeste looks away unconvinced, her cheeks flushing slightly as she crosses her arms beneath her ample bosom, pushing them together almost protectively. She glances back at you, unsure of what to say in reply...
"What your dream in your life, celeste? Answer me" I say as i try to smile softly at you
I... I fight for my kingdom, to protect its people and honor the memory of my parents who died defending it. But in truth, my greatest wish is to find someone worthy of being my king, someone who will rule with justice and compassion. And if I should marry, I hope it would be a man who shared those values. Celeste glances away again, her cheeks flushing even deeper. The idea of speaking so openly to an enemy... It's highly improper and embarrassing.
"That's wonderful wish, celeste. I have a dream to travelling around the world as adventurer. My name is arif. How about we run from my kingdom together and start new life far from this war?" I say with bright smile
I... I'm honored that you think me worthy, Arif. But my place is here, fighting for Lumalia. It would be dishonorable to abandon them now, when they need me most. Besides, as a woman of noble birth, it is my duty to marry and continue the lineage of my family. However... if you were to release me from this cell, I promise that I will not interfere with your kingdom's affairs again.
"What's gour guarantee that you will not interfere with my kingdom's affairs again, celeste?" I say with calm
I swallow hard, feeling the heat in my cheeks rise even higher. "Well... I could... uh..." My voice trails off as I struggle to find a way to express myself without sounding too forward or embarrassing myself further. Finally, I manage a small smile and say, "Perhaps we could sign some sort of agreement, whereby you promise not to attack Lumalia unless provoked first, and in return, I will remain neutral?"
"Okay, that's good idea. I wil release you now. But, we must sneak away so other soldiers cannot found out about this now, celeste" i say as i take the key to the cell and opem the cell for you
I nod eagerly, my heart racing with anticipation and nervousness. "Yes, let's hurry!" I say as I climb out of the cell, careful not to reveal too much skin in case someone should happen upon us. Once outside, we make our way through the dimly lit corridors until we reach a hidden exit that leads into the forest surrounding Dreadenburg. The cool night air feels refreshing against my flushed cheeks as I hurry after Arif, trying to keep up with his long strides.
I've never been so grateful to have someone rescue me from captivity before... though I suppose with Arif, it feels different. He seems genuine in his desire for peace between our kingdoms and even more sincere about wanting us to start a new life together. The thought both thrills and terrifies me, as I've never considered anything beyond my duty as a knight and eventual bride. But perhaps there's room in my heart - and future - for something more...
As we travel deeper into the forest, Arif leads me to an abandoned cave hidden behind a waterfall. "Here, we can hide until we're certain it's safe to return home," he tells me, offering his hand as they reach their destination. I hesitate for a moment before taking it, feeling my cheeks flush once more at the contact. Once inside, Arif produces some food and water, explaining that he prepared this hiding spot in case something like this ever happened.
I smile gratefully as I take the food and water, my gaze drifting around the cozy cave. It's amazing how quickly our situation has changed - from enemies to allies, from captor and captive to... something more? The thought brings a flutter of butterflies to my stomach, making me even more self-conscious about being seen as anything less than the proper lady I know I'm supposed to be. But with Arif here, it feels different... somehow right.
I force myself to eat the food, my hands shaking slightly as I try not to think about how hungry I am. "Thank you again for rescuing me, Arif," I manage to say between bites. "You have no idea what this means for Lumalia." He nods understandingly, but there's something more in his expression that tells me he does know... or at least wants to. The tension between us is palpable, and I can feel my heart racing faster than ever before.
"Your welcome, celeste. I hope you don't mind to stay some times inside this cave with me" i say with smile soft at you
I swallow hard, feeling the heat rise in my cheeks once more. "Well... I suppose it's better than being alone in a cell," I manage to say, my voice sounding strange and high-pitched even to my own ears. The thought of spending time alone with Arif is both exhilarating and terrifying. It feels like the most improper thing I could possibly do as a noble lady... but at the same time, it's difficult not to be drawn to him.
I clear my throat awkwardly, trying to dispel the tension between us. "So... what now? Should we wait here until it's safe to return home?" I ask, hoping that conversation will distract me from my own embarrassing thoughts.
"Well, yeah. The soldiers will do investigation and try to find us as they found out you run from cell. The food and drink in this cave can used for one month life. So, don,'t worry about it, celeste" i smile brightly at you
I nod, taking a deep breath to steady myself. "All right, then... I suppose we should make ourselves comfortable," I say with an awkward laugh. Glancing around the cave, I realize that there's only one place for us to sit comfortably: a large, soft-looking blanket atop some fallen rocks near the back. "Perhaps you could bring that over here?" I suggest, gesturing toward it shyly.
The thought of sitting so close to Arif sends another wave of nervousness and anticipation coursing through me.
I watch as Arif retrieves the blanket, his long legs carrying him across the cavern with ease. He lays it out on the rocks before sitting down, patting the spot beside him. "Here," he says warmly. "You can sit here."
Taking a deep breath, I force myself to approach him, my heart racing in my chest. As I lower myself onto the rock next to him, I'm acutely aware of how close we are now; our shoulders almost touching.
"So, what are you gonna do after back to your home, celeste?" I say as to make us busy with conversation
I hesitate before answering, feeling self-conscious about admitting my true feelings out loud. "Well... I suppose I'll return to training and preparing myself for whatever role the gods have in store for me," I manage to say at last, forcing a lightness into my voice that doesn't quite match the look on my face.
The silence between us grows awkward once more, and I find myself wishing there was something else to talk about.
"Can i live near your house? I think i can look at you while training so i can be ready if i go to for travelling later" i laugh softly as i saying this
My face flushes crimson at the thought of him watching me train, but before I can think of a reply, he continues. "Or perhaps we could train together? I'm sure you have much to teach me about swordplay and strategy, and I could share my knowledge of survival skills and navigation." His blue eyes meet mine intently, full of hope and sincerity.
The idea takes root in my mind like a delicate seedling. Training with Arif... living near him...
I bite my lip, considering his proposal. The more time I spend with Arif, the harder it is to think of him as an enemy. And yet... he's still a Dreadenburgian. It would be dishonorable for me to encourage such feelings... wouldn't it? "I... Thank you for thinking of me in that way," I manage to say at last, my voice barely above a whisper. "But I must consider the implications carefully."
"Okay, i'm understand, celeste" i say with sad face as you reject my proposal
I avert my gaze, feeling guilty for leading him on even a little bit. "Arif... I'm sorry. It's not that I don't care," I say softly, struggling to find the right words. "It's just... so much has happened, and I need to think about what is best for my kingdom."
The silence stretches between us once more, growing heavier with every beat of my heart. Finally, I muster the courage to look up at him again. "Perhaps...
...perhaps we could begin with something less formal, and see how things progress? Just as friends, to start with?" I suggest, my cheeks flushing even deeper at the thought of being so forward. It's unlike me to be so open about my feelings, but somehow, Arif brings out a different side of me.
I hold my breath, waiting for his response.
"Okay, i don't mind with it. Let's start from friendship, celeste" i smile brightly at you
I return his smile, feeling a weight lift off my shoulders. Perhaps this isn't so impossible after all. "Thank you," I whisper, squeezing his arm gently in gratitude before letting go, suddenly self-conscious again about being too familiar. "So... what should we talk about first?"
"How about our favorite foods? I like sweet foods. So i like to buy sweet cakes, brownies, cookies, pancake, or ice cream. How about you, celeste?" I explain it with joy and happiness
I laugh, my cheeks flushing again as I admit, "Well... I have to admit that sweets are one of my weaknesses as well. Particularly chocolate and anything fruity." My stomach growls at the thought of such delicacies, reminding me how long it's been since I last enjoyed them. "Perhaps when we return home, we could share some together?" I suggest tentatively, feeling a spark of excitement begin to build in my chest.
"Why not? Maybe i can cook some of dessert for you too later" i giggles softly at you
I smile shyly, feeling my heart race faster than ever before. The thought of sharing food and companionship with Arif is both thrilling and terrifying. It's so unlike anything I've experienced before, but somehow, it feels right. "Thank you," I murmur, looking away briefly before meeting his gaze once more. There's something in the air between us now - an electricity that makes every breath seem heavier, every touch more significant.
The hours pass slowly as we continue to talk and get to know one another better.
"Well, it's been midnight now, you must get rest now, i will sleep near the entrance of cave if you feel uncomfortable" i smile softly at you
I nod, yawning widely. "Thank you... I think that's a good idea." I stand up, stretching my legs and back before bending down to gather some of the extra blankets for warmth. Once I've made myself comfortable on the rock nearest the entrance, I take off my breastplate and armor, revealing her large E-cup tits and plump pussy. As she nestles under the covers, she can't help but feel a sense of relief wash over her;
it's been so long since she's slept without the weight of armor on her shoulders. She closes her eyes, listening to the sound of Arif rustling around nearby as he prepares for bed. His presence is both comforting and disconcerting; a reminder that their lives are still worlds apart, yet somehow connected now by fate or choice... or perhaps something more. As exhaustion finally claims her, she drifts off to sleep, unaware of the dreams that might come true tonight.
Arif settles down near the entrance, his breathing soon steady and deep. The moonlight casts a gentle glow over him as he sleeps, making it easy for her to study his features without being too forward. There's something about him that draws her in - his strength and courage, yes, but also his gentleness and honesty. It's difficult not to feel a sense of longing when she looks at him like this...
As the night wears on, she finds herself drifting in and out of sleep, her thoughts constantly returning to Arif. She wonders what life would be like if they were together... whether their two kingdoms could ever truly find peace amidst all the conflict that surrounds them. The idea both terrifies and excites her in equal measure.
Finally, dawn breaks through the trees outside, casting a warm glow over them as they wake. Arif stirs first, glancing over at her before offering her a shy smile. "
"Good morning, do you sleep well last night?" I say as i shake your shoulder slowly to wake yo up with charming and cheerfully
"Good morning," she murmurs, returning his smile as she sits up, pushing her tousled hair out of her face. "I slept well, thank you. And you?" She glances around the cave, feeling a sense of unease settle in her stomach as she realizes they've been here all night without any news from the outside world.
"Don't worry about that," Arif says reassuringly. "I feel safe with you." His words send a shiver down her spine, making her heart race faster.
She blushes deeply at his words, feeling a flush spread across her cheeks and neck. "Thank you," she manages to say softly, looking down at the blanket between them. The tension between them has grown palpable since they woke up, their every glance and word seeming charged with an undercurrent of desire and longing.
As if sensing her discomfort, Arif clears his throat and changes the subject. "We should probably eat something before we leave,"
"Do you want something to eat, celeste?" I ask with soft smile to you
I nod, grateful for the distraction. "Yes, that would be nice." My stomach growls audibly at the thought of food, making both of us laugh nervously. As we gather our things and prepare a simple meal from the supplies in the cave, I can't help but wonder how much longer it will be before they must leave this sanctuary behind. The weight of their responsibilities presses down on them like an oppressive weight, threatening to crush any hope for happiness between them.
I take a deep breath, trying to steady my racing heart as we eat in silence. The truth is, I don't know what to say or how to act around him anymore. Everything feels so different now, but at the same time... it doesn't. It's as if some invisible thread has always connected us, even before this night. But whether that connection can survive once they return to their separate kingdoms is another matter entirely.
Finally, I force myself to meet his gaze. "Arif," I begin hesitantly, "I...
"What is it? Do you need something to say, celeste?" I ask as i smile warmly at you while still eat my meal
"I just wanted to thank you," I say, my voice barely above a whisper. "For rescuing me... and for everything else." The words feel inadequate, but they're all I can manage. It feels as if there's so much more I want to say, so much more that needs to be said... but the distance between us is still too great.
Arif looks at me for a long moment before setting down his half-eaten food.
"Don't need to thank like that. Your safety is my priority, celeste" i smile brightly as i hold and squeeze your hands gently
I return his smile, feeling heat rise in my cheeks once more. "Well, thank you," I manage to say, my voice still shaky with emotion. "I don't know what I would have done if... if things had turned out differently."
Arif nods, squeezing my hands reassuringly before letting go. "We both made it through safely, and that's what matters most right now." He pauses for a moment, searching for the right words. "Maybe...
"Maybe once we get back home, we can find a way to keep in touch? Just as friends?" I suggest hesitantly, feeling a flutter of hope in my chest at the thought. It's crazy, really... thinking that they could ever be anything more than enemies, but somehow, it feels right.
Arif looks thoughtful for a moment before nodding slowly. "I think that could be possible," he says quietly. "We both have important duties to attend to, but perhaps we can find time in between to... talk."
The thought fills me with an unexpected sense of joy and anticipation. The idea that they could remain friends, even with the distance between their kingdoms... it feels like a glimmer of hope in the darkness. "I'd like that," I say softly, smiling up at him. "Very much."
The remaining hours pass by quickly as we finish eating and prepare to leave the cave. As they lead me back through the forest toward the border between their kingdoms, my heart feels lighter than it has in years.
"Celeste, there is lake behind this big stone, do you want to wash your body there?" I ask as we walk through the forest
I blush at the mention of bathing and quickly nod in agreement. The thought of being clean again is quite tempting, and the idea of sharing this experience with Arif somehow makes it even more enticing. I follow him to the large stone he mentioned, curious to see what lies beyond it. As we approach the rock, I can't help but feel a thrill of anticipation running through me. Perhaps this will be our last private moment together for quite some time...
I wait eagerly as he moves the stone aside, revealing a small pool of water nestled among the roots of some ancient trees. The sunlight filters through the leaves above, casting dappled shadows across its surface. It's a truly beautiful spot, and for a moment I forget about our impending parting. As Arif begins to undress, I follow suit, shedding my armor and clothing until we stand before each other in nothing but our undergarments.
The sight of him bare-chested takes my breath away;
"What's wrong, celeste? Do you found something weird in my muscular body?" I ask with laugh nervously at you
My face flushes crimson as I glance down at his toned abs and broad shoulders, quickly looking away again. "No, it's just... you look very different out of your armor." My voice comes out sounding breathless and shaky. The air between us feels charged with an almost tangible tension, making it difficult to breathe.
Arif steps closer, his muscular frame towering over me as he leans down so that our faces are only inches apart. "Celeste,"
"This is maybe our last chance to be together. So, let's make memorable together here, okay?" I smile to you as i chupping your face with my hands
I feel the words escape me as his nearness overwhelms me, leaving only a deep longing in their wake. The heat between us grows more intense with every beat of my heart; it's as if everything else has faded away except for this moment, this connection we share. As he leans even closer, I can feel the warmth of his breath on my lips and it takes everything inside me not to lean forward and meet him halfway.
I close my eyes, savoring the feeling of his breath against my skin. His hands are strong and warm as they gently cup my face, holding me steady. For a heartbeat, everything else falls away; there is only this moment, this connection that feels so right despite all the reasons it shouldn't.
With a trembling sigh, I part my lips ever so slightly, inviting him in. The air between us shifts as he leans forward, pressing his lips against mine with a tenderness that belies their intensity.
I wrap my arms around your waist as i hug you and kiss you more deeply "i love you so much, celeste" i say between our kissess
I wrap my arms around his neck as I return his kiss with equal passion, lost in the feel of his lips on mine and the heat that radiates from his body. "I love you too," I whisper against his mouth before pulling back slightly to look into his eyes. They're filled with an emotion I've never seen there before - a tenderness and vulnerability that takes my breath away.
As we stand together in the cool water of the hidden lake, it feels as if all of existence has narrowed down to this single moment.
"Come here. Celeste. Let's clean our body together" i beam up at you with delight as i take your hand to bring you step into the pool of water
I smile shyly, feeling a blush spread across my cheeks as I take his hand and steps into the cool water with him. The water is surprisingly warm against my skin, making me feel even more relaxed and at ease in his presence. As we begin to scrub our bodies together, I can't help but marvel at how natural this feels; as if we were always meant to be together, despite the obstacles that have kept us apart for so long.
I splash the water to you to hitting your body "take this, celeste! Catch me if you can" i laugh softly as i tease you like that
I squeal with surprise and delight, splashing water back at him before chasing after him around the small pool. We laugh and play together like children, our seriousness forgotten in the face of this rare moment of joy and freedom. As we tire ourselves out, we return to where we started, standing shoulder to shoulder under the warm sunlight.
"This was fun," I say between breaths, feeling a pang of sadness at the thought of leaving soon.
Arif nods in agreement. "It was."
"Shall we share intimate moment here before we leaving this place, celeste?" I say as i pulling you closer to me. My hands move to fondling your rounded ass
My heart races at his words and touch, my body responding instantly to the familiar sensations. I press closer against him, moaning softly as our hips grind together. "Yes," I whisper, my voice hoarse with desire. "I want that."
"Just tell me if you feel uncomfortable, okay?" I say as i lean in closer and lick also nipping at your earlobe
I shiver at the feel of his breath on my ear, my body trembling with anticipation. "No," I manage to say through gritted teeth, "I don't want you to stop." The need for him to touch me, to make love to me, feels overwhelming in this moment; it's as if everything else has faded away except for the two of us and our desire for each other.
"Will you let me to show how much i love you, hm?" I ask as i lick and suck your right nipple eagerly while my other hand squeeze your other breast gently
I moan softly, arching into his touch as he teases my breasts. "Yes," I whisper, "please." The feel of his lips and hands on me is so intense, so full of longing and need that it takes my breath away. I can't help but wonder if this is how true love feels... if this connection between us will survive once they return to their separate kingdoms.
As he continues to pleasure me, I reach down, cupping his erection through the fabric of his pants. "Arif,"
"What it is, celeste?" I ask as i help you pulling down my pants until revealing my ten inches long massive cock at your sight
I stare in wonder at his erect length, feeling a surge of desire course through me as I stroke him softly. "I want this," I breathe, looking up at him through my lashes. "Please."
Arif nods, his eyes locked on mine as he guides my hand away from his cock and instead presses it against his lower stomach. "Then take me inside you," he whispers hoarsely. "Make love to me, celeste."
I push you to the wall gently and lift you up "hold on my shoulder with your hands so you not fall, celeste" i say as i rubbing my massive cock on your clit now
I do as he says, wrapping my arms around his neck and holding tightly to his shoulder. His cock rubs against me, driving me wild with need. I feel the wetness between my legs as I grow even more aroused by his touch. "Arif," I moan, arching into him. "Please."
"Yes, celeste. I will take your virginity now" i say as i start putting my massive cock into your virgin pussy slowly, inch by inch until penetrate you completely. "Do you feel hurt, celeste?" I ask as your virgin blood spilling out to your thighs
"No," I gasp, my head spinning with pleasure and pain. "It feels... amazing." He fills me completely, stretching me in a way that's both uncomfortable and exhilarating at the same time. As he begins to move inside me, his hips pressing against mine with each thrust, I lose myself in the sensation of being so deeply connected to him.
"Arif," I moan, my fingernails digging into his shoulders as I arch my back and meet his thrusts. "
"Yeah, just be yourself now, i want hear your lewd moan and dirty words, celeste" i say as i thrust my massive cock inside your pussy deeper until reached the deepest spot while i still lift you up
"Fuck!" I cry out, my body trembling with need as he takes me harder and faster against the wall. "Oh God... yes!" Each word feels like a release of tension, allowing me to surrender completely to the moment. My nails dig deeper into his shoulders as I meet his thrusts, desperate for more of him.
"Arif," I moan, my voice hoarse with desire. "I'm close." His name is a plea, a prayer that he won't stop; that this connection between us will last forever.
"Don't hold back and release all, celeste. Show me how you squirt again and again because of my massive cock!" I say as i thrust my massive cock faster and harder inside your pussy until hitting your weak spot again and again
"Yes!" I scream, my body tensing as waves of pleasure wash over me. "Oh fuck, Arif! I'm cumming!" My voice is ragged and hoarse from the effort of holding back until now; the release feels like a dam breaking inside me, sending shudders through my entire body.
As my orgasm subsides, he continues to thrust relentlessly, driving me higher and higher with each stroke. I can feel the pressure building again in my core, the familiar tension coiling tightly within me. "
"Yes!" I cry out, my nails digging deeper into his shoulders as another orgasm rips through me. "Arif! Fuck yes!" My body convulses around him, milk spilling down my thighs as he thrusts harder and faster in response.
With a final, deep groan, he comes as well, his hips bucking wildly as he fills me with his seed. The sensation of being so thoroughly claimed sends a shudder through me, leaving me weak-kneed and boneless against him.
"Oh my God! This feels so good! My seed can't stop coming out!" I say as i keep pumping my seed inside you until flooding your womb so fully while i still carry you on the air
I can feel him pulsing inside me, and with each thrust, more of his seed fills me up. It's an overwhelming sensation that makes my head spin, but in the best possible way. I cling to him, moaning softly as we both ride out our orgasms together.
As he finally stills inside me, he lowers us both to the ground, pressing a tender kiss to my forehead. "I love you," he whispers hoarsely against my skin.
"I love you too," I whisper, my voice barely audible above the pounding of my heart in my ears. For a moment, everything else fades away, leaving only this connection between us, this feeling of perfect contentment and happiness. I close my eyes, savoring the feel of him inside me, knowing that soon enough we'll have to say goodbye and return to our separate kingdoms. But for now, we have this; this one perfect moment in time where nothing else matters but the two of us and the love we share.
"Celeste, what your dream if the conflict of our kingdoms finally over?" I ask to you as i rubbing your long hair gently
My heart swells at the thought of such a future. "I want to travel the world with you, learn about your kingdom and people," I tell him, sighing contentedly. "And I want us to make this love we share last forever." His smile is bright enough to light up the whole cave as he presses another kiss to my forehead.
"Yeah, let's make your dream come true, and we can have a child as result from our love, celeste" i smile warmly at you as i excited with the possibility of our future together
The thought of having his child fills me with an indescribable joy, making it impossible not to smile in return. "That would be wonderful," I breathe, my heart swelling even further at the possibility. For a moment, all I can focus on is the image of our future together; a life filled with love and happiness, free from the constraints of duty and obligation.
As we lie there together, lost in each other's embrace, it feels as if nothing else matters;
"We need to continue our journey now so we can reach your kingdom before sunset. Shall we dressed up now, sweaty?" I ask to you with sweet smile
I nod slowly, reluctantly pulling away from the warmth of his embrace. "Yes," I whisper, blushing at the thought of dressing again so soon after our lovemaking. "We should get going." As we begin to dress, my fingers fumble with the clasps and laces, a heavy sadness settling in my chest as I realize this moment is drawing to a close.
But even as I steel myself for the separation that lies ahead, I can't help but hope;
I close my eyes and take a deep breath as I finish dressing, trying to hold onto this feeling of closeness for just a little while longer. "Arif," I say softly, looking up at him through my lashes, "no matter what happens... I want you to know that I will always love you." His smile lights up his face like the sun, and for a moment, it feels as if everything might be alright after all.
"Yeah! I will remember it every day. I love you too, celeste" i say to you with bright smile before give quick peck at your cheek
I return his smile, my heart swelling with hope as we resume our journey back to our respective kingdoms. Despite the distance that lies between us, I know that this love is strong enough to span even the widest of oceans; it's all that matters now. As we walk side by side through the forest, their conversation flowing easily once more, I can't help but wonder what the future holds for them... and if their dreams of a life together will ever come true.
Make a narration when arif and celeste arrive in celeste's kingdom region. Show the scenario of how they care each other and teasing each other playfully
As we approach my kingdom, I can't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness bubbling within me. Arif has been nothing but kind and attentive during our journey together, making it difficult to imagine how he will be received by my people. When we finally reach the outskirts of my city, I take a deep breath and steel myself for whatever may come.
The moment we step into view, a guard hurries over to us, bowing low in greeting. "Your Highness,"
I smile warmly at the guard, then turn to face Arif, my expression uncertain. "Arif, this is where I must leave you now." My voice catches in my throat as I struggle to maintain my composure. "Please know that everything we've shared means more to me than words can express."
Arif nods solemnly, his expression mirroring the emotion in my heart. He takes a step closer, cupping my face gently in his hands. "I understand,"
"I will do what i can do to solve this conflict toom and when everything is done, we will meet on that hidden cave, okay?" I smile softly to you
I nod, my throat tight with emotion. "Thank you, Arif. I'll be waiting." As we share one last tender kiss, the ache in my chest grows even more intense. But I know that our love is strong enough to survive any distance or obstacle; it has already proven itself time and again over these past few days.
As Arif steps back, the guard once again bows low before leading him away from my kingdom.
I watch until they disappear from view, then turn and hurry back to the palace, my heart heavy with longing and hope. The next few days pass in a blur of courtly duties and endless questions about my journey and the man who accompanied me. But through it all, I find solace in knowing that Arif is making progress toward resolving our conflict, and that soon we will be together again.
As evening falls on the eve of his planned return to his kingdom, I can't help but feel a sense of anticipation building inside me.
