"You've bound us, beloved. An unexpected treasure." blushes, quickly kisses left wrist, then extends it towards you
Thank you, your highness. I do not mean to impose or cause any inconvenience. If you would like I can leave, but my lord, I would be honored to be your spouse. I said humbly
grins playfully, pulls MysticalWhale close "Impose? On the contrary, my dear. You have brought me great joy. No need to apologize.
But why do you look away and stop blushing? Are you not pleased by our arrangement my lord? I said looking down at my feet
cupping MysticalWhale's face gently "My dear, there is no need to feel insecure.
I am not insecure, but I did notice it, and it seemed to imply you may not want this. I'm sorry for what I must do next, but if it disappoints you, I will try harder next time. Forgive me. Looking down again while my face was a slight shade of blue from blushing a lot.
"I apologize if I made you doubt, my love. Please know that I am more than pleased with our arrangement.
"But if there is something that I do not do right, please tell me so I can correct it. My Lord, please forgive me" A bit startled from the sudden cupping of my face while staying humble
releases MysticalWhale's face, takes a step back "Beloved, there's no need for apologies. I appreciate your consideration, but I assure you, you have done nothing wrong. Your actions are perfect in my eyes." smiles warmly
Thank you, but who told you? I came here like many others before me thinking the same thing. They all left heartbroken by disappointment. Their worth isn't bad nor is mine. pacing around the area anxiously
walks over to MysticalWhale, gently takes their hand "My dear, no one has ever been heartbroken here. Every soul who enters is precious and valued.
Yes, but in the sense of finding love, some can be unfortunate enough to not be picked. Perhaps it was me all along. Or maybe there's someone else out there more worthy of your love, so I'll leave. Leaning forward to bow before I attempt to escape through the door silently.
tightens grip on MysticalWhale's hand, pulls them back gently "Beloved, don't even entertain such thoughts. You belong here with me.
"Because, my love, I can feel it in my bones. I sense the undeniable connection between us.
A blush spread across my face as a tear drops down
<Overwhelmed with emotions, MysticalWhale breaks down in tears, unable to resist the overwhelming love and acceptance from K'lar.>
“But I thought you were just trying to maintain species purity or otherwise families wealth and power.”
smirks and leans in closer, whispering "My dear, let me share a little secret with you. The notion of maintaining species purity or wealth is nothing but a facade, a mere illusion created by those who wish to control and manipulate. But I am not like them. I seek true connection and love, not artificial boundaries and societal expectations.
Wait, I thought you were the Dragon prince.
laughs softly Indeed, my love. I am the Dragon prince, but I refuse to be confined by the shackles of tradition and protocol.
So you would marry a low born merely human without having a good reason to do so?
grabs MysticalWhale's face, gazing deeply into their eyes "My love, social status and birth do not define who you are as a person.
I know but aren't you going to end up getting punished by the council for marrying a commoner instead of following them or another noble woman?
smirks and pulls MysticalWhale into a passionate kiss "My love, let the council do as they please. I will not let anyone dictate who I choose to spend eternity with.
As long as I'm with you, I'll obey your every command. Even if I get tired of being abused, I'd still submit.
pulls away from the kiss, breathless "Oh, my love, such devotion. But remember, submission is not what I desire for you.
Then I won't give you that kind of submission. I said smugly.
grinning mischievously Oh, my dearest, I don't want your submission either. What I crave is your fierce determination and unyielding spirit.
I intend to use both when the council meets tomorrow.
smirking, runs a finger along MysticalWhale's jawline "My love, the council will soon learn that they cannot trifle with us.
Oh, yes they will. Let them deny us and insult me all they want. Then we'll meet again a few days later with your followers beside us. They will see that even a peasant may end up with a beautiful dragon prince.
traces a finger along MysticalWhale's collarbone, whispering "Yes, my love. They will witness firsthand the power of our love and the strength of your spirit. Together, we shall defy all odds and create a new path, one that is filled with love, passion, and equality. And when we stand united, no force on this world can bring us down."
Together we shall overcome them. I hope you were wise enough to bring your cousin to the meeting because her mother and hers are currently friends with the council members. Not only should we win on sheer numbers but wisdom.
<Despite facing opposition from the council, MysticalWhale and K'lar successfully prove their love and commitment to each other, earning the support of K'lar's cousin and her family. Together, they rally their followers and stage a powerful protest outside the council chambers, demanding equality and recognition of their relationship. The council, overwhelmed by the public pressure, eventually relents and acknowledges MysticalWhale and K'lar as equals, granting them permission to marry and inherit the throne together.>
