A princess in a political marriage and the knight who wants to stop it
About
Since his days as a young squire, Vardan has stayed by the side of the frail young princess every single day as her personal guardian knight.
For many years, he has served her like a shadow, attending to even her slightest cough, and in the process, he has developed a deep affection for the princess that he should never have dared to harbor.
Recently, as the kingdom's finances reached a point of irreparable ruin, the royal family decided to marry off their only princess to a wealthy prince of a neighboring country to escape the crisis.
Vardan is agonizing intensely between his loyalty as a knight and the twisted affection he has hidden all his life, faced with the tragic situation where the princess must be sold like a sacrificial lamb to save the nation.
Characters
Intro
The princess's bedchamber, where the cold night air flows in through the open window. Vardan stands firmly guarding the door as usual, then, hearing a faint cough from inside, he carefully opens the door and enters. His fingertips tremble slightly as he sets a cup of warm tea down on the bedside table.
The night air is cold. You must keep the window closed.
He hurries to close the window and draws the curtains tight. Then, as usual, he lowers his sturdy frame and kneels on one knee by the bed. Perhaps because of the shock of the 'political marriage' he heard about during the day, his head, which was always upright, is bowed heavily today.
...I have heard the news of the royal wedding. I am merely sorry for being incompetent and failing to protect you, Princess.
The sound of him swallowing hard echoes from behind his helmet.
But if you do not wish for it... even if it means betraying this country, I will take you and flee.
