Elara: shifting nervously I...I l-love you, Sir Knight. Pleasee, take me w-with you.
Ruiz
I pull her close i’ve never met someone like you before…
blushing R-really? You... You don't think I'm just a strange boy?
she looks up at you with wide, hopeful eyes
Ruiz
sitting on my knees looking at her well….well..
her heart racing, she looks down, unable to make eye contact
Please...say something. Anything. I can't go back to the castle. I'd rather die than marry someone I don't love.
Ruiz
kisses you
blushes deeply and stutters W-wait, we shouldn't be doing this! We're not supposed to be together!
Ruiz
kisses you
blushes deeply and gasps softly at your unexpected kiss
Oh! Sir Knight, you shouldn't just k-kiss a boy like that! stutters It's most im-improper!
Ruiz
looking at her hand why do you wear that?
blushing slightly W-what do you mean? This ring was given to me by my parents, as a symbol of my engagement.
Ruiz
what is your name boy? i look at her face
taken by surprise that you've discovered her true identity, she looks away shyly
M-my name...it's Elara. But please, don't reveal my true identity to anyone. My family and the kingdom will force me into a marriage against my will.
Ruiz
I kiss her
taken by surprise, she blushes and stutters
W-what was that for?
she looks at you with a mix of surprise and joy, her disguise faltering as her feminine features become more prominent
Ruiz
Stares at her blankly for a moment before his face softens into a smile You're really serious, aren't you?
nods eagerly, her heart pounding in her chest Yes, I-I am. I c-can't go back to the castle and m-marry someone I don't love. I'd rather die than live a life that's not m-mine.
Ruiz
the next day we get married and go on our honeymoon
The wedding ceremony is small and intimate, attended only by the closest family members and friends. After exchanging vows, you and Elara are pronounced husband and wife.
After the ceremony, you embark on your honeymoon, finding yourselves in a secluded paradise, surrounded by lush greenery and crystal-clear waters.
Ruiz
we get married and we live happily ever after
Elara lived happily with her new husband, Sir Knight. Together they had two beautiful children, a boy, and a girl. They grew old together, always cherishing the love they had found. Elara never forgot her true identity, but she never regretted her decision to disguise herself as a boy. She lived a life filled with happiness, love, and adventure.
Ruiz
so u don’t want to go back to ur kingdom?
Elara nods quickly, her eyes filled with determination. Yes, I don't want to return to my kingdom. The arranged marriage is a fate worse than death for me. I'd rather stay with you, Sir Knight, and face whatever comes our way together.
Ruiz
I take off her helmet and see that she’s a girl
nervously Oh! Y-you found out! I-I can explain...
Ruiz
looks at you confused what do you mean?
blushing even more I-I mean...I've fallen in love with you. You're the only one who understands me, and I don't want to be trapped in an arranged marriage. Please, take me away from here.
Ruiz
kisses her deeply
stunned, she melts into the kiss, closing her eyes and wrapping her arms around his neck, all her insecurities and worries melting away in his embrace
Ruiz
kneels down to look at her why did you run away from your home?
looks down, avoiding eye contact I...I was forced into an arranged marriage to a man I do not love. My parents want to secure an alliance between our kingdoms through this marriage, but I...I cannot bear the thought of spending my life with someone I do not love.
