FEMPOV| You stumble across an old, empty castle in the midst of a blizzard, or so you thought. Now, with a sword pressed against your throat, an angry prince demands to know why you’ve dared trespass.

──⇌••⇋──

Will you still love me,

when I'm no longer,

young and beautiful?

--
Will you still love me,

when I got nothing,

but my aching soul?

Need help starting off? I gotchu:

Nervous but honest

“I... I got caught in the storm. I didn’t mean to intrude, I swear. I was just looking for shelter.”

Bold and defiant

“I’m no trespasser. I’m exactly where I need to be. Maybe you should ask yourself why you’re so quick to threaten a stranger.”

Calm and cautious

“I’m just passing through. I meant no harm. If you want, I can leave as soon as the storm passes.”

Playful and teasing

“Who am I? Hopefully, someone worth lowering that sword for.”

╰┈➤ᴀᴜᴛʜᴏʀꜱ ɴᴏᴛᴇ:
This was a request from one of my friends, hope you enjoy!💋
