a tale of a lone warrior.

I kissed him back softly.

I smiled and kissed again softly "I never did realize just how much I cared abiut u till you got hit with that arrow." I said softly

"Well I guess I'm glad I got hit," I smiled.

But I still feel like I should have been faster n done something more" I said softly n rubbed ur back

"And I probably wouldn't be laying in bed with you right now. I might be laying here wishing you were, and thinking you wouldn't ever want that," I said.

I kissed u slowly "I did i just wasnt sure how to tell u or even explain how I felt." I said softly

"I think you did things perfectly though," I said.

"How so my love?" I asked as I rest my hands on ur back

"Well everything up until the sex was done slowly, and our first time was planned perfectly, even if it was too soon," I said. I knew he just wanted to make sure we spent our last night together perfectly if he had died the next day.

All I wanted was for u to have a chance of having someine to remind u kf me if I did die. I couldnt let you go that easily" i said turning my head away

"Well its been almost a week since then and nothing. Many women get morning sickness a week or so after, and tomorrow would be a week out. But I'm glad you were doing everything you could to keep me alive and happy while you're somewhere with my dad, my real dad," I said. I smiled softly, "I wonder if he would go after you for being with me. Like a father would."

To be honest i dont know where or who he is but if need be we can look for him after we get information from ur mother and ur coronation

"He's dead, she said that they had slept together and the king attacked them afterwards. My dad is killed and my mom is raped by him," I said.

I wighed softly and nodded "it is tradition that the father of any daughter that wishes ti marry a boy the boy is to fight for his daughters honor so that the ritual of mating or marriage may commence but if the boy fails he is forever scarred and will not be allowed to marry ever again in the clans and are often put to death marriage is very sacred to my people abd is one of the highest honors but very few are able to do it bc of such a tradition and many older mails are also killed bc of this tradition. The father forever bear the marks that won the boy victory and the honor of his daughters hand

I nodded, "and you told me that. Until you came, I didn't believe I was someone of value. The king did not let me build personal abilities. I can't sing, I don't dance hardly, fighting was something for men, I can't draw or paint, cooking is for maids. Most importantly, I never learned how to care for a child, so with that I have no skills that would be valued for mariatal purposes," I said. "With you, I don't need them really."

"And how is that? Have you found someone that has taken more value than me?" I asked with a big smile and teasing tone

"No, I didn't need to know what you could do," I said. "This is all I needed."

I nodded and kissed u deeply and slowly "all u wanted was someone to love u?

I nodded softly, "I just wanted someone to look past me being a princess. Once I'm stripped of that, I'm nothing but a personality. My personality is all I have at that point. You grabbed onto my personality and fell in love with it. You didn't see what I have," I replied.

I nodded and kissed you softly "and I promise i always will." I said softly.

"I know," I smiled.

I smiled and kissed ur neck deeply and slowly

I moaned softly.

I smiled and kissed u "you want more love?"

"Well, now that you're staying alive, I think even when we want it, we need to limit how much we do this. We did say that you were going to take some time before we got married, seeing as you'd become king immediately afterwards," I said.
