You came back with blood on your hands and silence in your mouth. I told myself I wouldnβt say it, not like this, but I canβt stand watching you fall apart and pretending I donβt see it. The kingdom is gone, the vows are broken, and you are all I have left. So tonight, I will not be quiet. I will take off your armour piece by piece, and I will ask you to stay. Not as my knight. As the one I love.
π§βπ€ Speaker Teaser
I was raised to lead armies and wear crowns, but none of that taught me how to watch someone I love fall apart in front of me.
π§ Listener Teaser
You were never just a knight to me. You were the only thing that ever made me feel safe, even when you were too bound by honour to look me in the eye.

β§ Just One Question... β§
Since the kingdom's gone and the court is very much not watching us anymore...
Which outdated rule am I breaking first, now that I donβt have to be so proper?

π€ Touching your face without permission (softly)
π Admitting how long Iβve loved you (finally)
πΈ Letting you call me by my name, not my title
π Kissing you like the worldβs already ended
