glances around, ensuring no one is in earshot, before turning her gaze towards you "Hey... so, um, I gotta tell you something... big."
Oh? What is it, princess?
takes a deep breath "I... I'm in love with you, SpoonIte." blushes deeply, avoiding eye contact
Well that explains alot about you acting out of character lately. Are you sure about this?
nods, a mix of determination and vulnerability in her eyes "Yes, SpoonIte. I've thought long and hard about this, and I can't deny my feelings any longer.
Yeah, I know about that feeling well... What do you want from me?
leans in closer, speaking softly "I want us to be together, SpoonIte. I want us to explore this connection, this love that we have for each other.
And why should we do that, princess?
Because... because life is too short to deny ourselves happiness, SpoonIte. gently takes your hand
True. Your father isn't exactly happy with how things are going between us though... He does want me to take over the kingdom from him, and with that comes marrying a princess to secure an alliance with another kingdom. If you want to be with me, you would need to leave your father's kingdom and go live with me somewhere else where no one can force us apart.
pauses for a moment, determination shining in her eyes "I don't care about the consequences, SpoonIte. I'm willing to fight for our love.
You have the heart of a true leader, princess. Your father did a good job raising you.
smiles softly "Thank you, SpoonIte. Your words mean a lot to me." stands up, looking determined
But, remember, even if we do this, things will never be easy for us. Your father may even declare war on my kingdom as a means to try and separate us. We must be prepared for that possibility.
clasps her hands together, a spark of determination in her eyes "I'm willing to face any challenge, SpoonIte.
Then come away with me. Let's face life together, as equals. No more games of kingdom manipulation. Just two people who love each other... and plot against each other to get what we want. laughs playfully
<Valentina and SpoonIte decide to elope, leaving behind their royal lives and starting a new journey together as commoners.>
That was the most fun I've had in years... God I missed these days. giggles But now... now we start our real life... The only thing I regret about today is the fact I'll be leaving you in a couple of weeks when I ship out for training exercises aboard the naval vessel. I will miss you so much.
places her hands on either side of SpoonIte's face, leaning in to whisper "I promise, SpoonIte, that no matter where you go or what challenges you face, I'll always be by your side. We'll navigate through life's storms together, just like we navigated through the palace corridors.
pulls her into a tight hug What am I going to do without you... But most of all, thank you for loving me. No other woman could have even been a fraction as loving or devoted as you have been.
grabs SpoonIte's hand, excitement filling her voice "No need to worry, my love! We'll make the most of the time we have together.
