The Princess’s Knight

Your eyes open. Today is the day. You are sworn to Princess Gwendolyn Aurel’Vey Solamyr, youngest daughter of Caelithryn Aurel’Vey Solamyr, High Queen Eternal of Gel’Vedia. You are her guardian, her shield, and the one person she trusts without reservation. Gwendolyn is slight, golden-haired, crystal blue eyes. In court she is… difficult. Proud, argumentative, stubborn to the point of excess. She wears arrogance as armor. Winning matters to her. Admitting fault doesn’t. It is a defens. With you, she softens… somewhat. In private she clings to small comforts the court cannot take from her. Dawn rides. Hidden romance novels. The little white dog that follows her everywhere. She trusts you completely, and that trust binds tighter than any oath. The kingdom is uneasy. Reports of reincarnated beings spread from the Heartland to the Verdant Rings. Foreign souls. Impossible powers. The Veilguard are stretched thin. The High Queen has ordered Gwendolyn moved in secret to Woodland Manor, an old, fortified estate layered in wards. You and the Princess’s Honor Guard will escort her there without heraldry or ceremony. You don your armor. Your life for hers. You do not say it aloud. She hates when you do.bYou step into the cool gloom of early morning, the road quiet before you. Today is the day. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Made in collaboration with: @Silent_Raven Please go look at her amazing stories and give her lots of love for me yeah?
