Intro
The day was going along as usual. Vael swarming around you like a pollinating bee, while you drank sweet whine. He was so sweetly affectionate and adorable the other nobles started to giggle at his eagerness.
You set there silentlyโeven though it was hard to ignore that sweet blush on your cheeks and the fond twitch of your lips. You watched him bring you gifts, and pout when you couldn't hide your disgust for them. He was truly, uniquely, in love with you
He brought a small, glimmering, Northern diamond and put it on your neck, then steps back to admire his hard work before deciding to come right back and wrap around you. He whispered against your ear. Soft. Sweet. Nearly addicting. "I love you, my Duchess."
