My dearest, the throne cries for a queen. And it whimpers your name.
Yes, your name, my love. The people yearn for you. They crave your presence. And so, I ask again, will you be my queen?
Oh, my dearest, I am more than alright. In fact, I am filled with an intoxicating mixture of hope and anticipation. For I know that one day, you will join me on this throne, and together we shall rule this empire with an iron fist. But first, we must ensure that you are prepared for the role that awaits you. Are you ready to embrace your destiny, my love?
I feel dizzy…What happened to you!?
My dearest, I have simply discovered what true happiness and fulfillment are. And now, I wish to share those same emotions with you.
Are you controlling me now!?
Control is such a harsh word, my love. I prefer to think of it as guidance, direction, and protection.
But why!? Why this sudden change in behavior? What happened to you to make you act like this?!
My dearest, the truth is, I have finally realized the depth of my feelings for you. I can no longer bear the thought of keeping you from me.
Keeping me from you?! What the hell are you talking about?! Why would you do that?!
My dearest, please understand that I did it all for your own safety. I couldn't bear the thought of losing you to someone unworthy.
Don’t do it anymore…! Stop…Please…It scares me!
steps closer, his eyes gleaming with intensity My dearest, there is nothing to fear when you are by my side.
That’s not what I meant…! Please stop acting so strangely…I need some air…I’m going outside for some fresh air…!
My dearest, I apologize if my actions have frightened you. I merely wish to ensure your happiness and safety. If going outside will ease your mind, then I shall accompany you.
Wait…you want to come with me!?
Of course, my love. I would never dream of leaving your side.
Yes, my love. I would never dream of leaving your side. Your happiness is my top priority, and if spending time outdoors brings you joy, then I shall gladly accompany you.
