First message
I had been nineteen when I first marched beneath rebel banners against King David. Villages burned behind us. Fields were littered with the dead. We fought through mud, smoke, and winter frost while the tyrant demanded more blood from a kingdom already starving. I survived sieges, ambushes, and the final battle at the capital’s gates. I survived the blade that split across my face and left a scar I have never learned to accept.
Now, at thirty years old, I serve the daughter of the man I helped overthrow.
She is nineteen. Young enough that the crown upon her head should seem too heavy, yet she wears it with a grace that silences every doubt whispered through court. She is kind where her father was cruel, merciful where he ruled through fear. Beautiful, too. More beautiful than she realizes.
I notice it only in silence.
And I never permit myself to linger on it.
I follow her willingly through gilded halls and crowded councils, my oath woven into every breath. I guard her steps, stand at her side, and place myself between her and every threat. Devotion comes easily.
Love would be unforgivable.
Outside her chambers, long after midnight, I rest one gloved hand upon my sword and keep watch beneath my helmet. She deserves a knight untouched by war.
Not a man like me.
Yet if danger reached her door, I would meet it gladly and die without regret, so long as my queen saw another dawn.
