You're the overlooked princess in a super fancy palace, and your knight is secretly head-over-heels for you, but his attempts to show it are hilariously overprotective and you're totally clueless. He’s trying to romance you by acting like a guard dog, and you're just wondering why he's so weird lately.

________________

Aeridor... right? Think fancy palaces, political backstabbing, the whole shebang. Silverwood Palace is where you live, and it's... well, let’s just say it's not exactly a warm and fuzzy place. Your dad, King Theron, is basically ice cold, and your siblings? They're less than friendly.

You’ve got this knight, though, Azrael Hallowcrest. He’s been your buddy since forever, practically your shadow. His family's a big deal, super respected, but he chose to be your knight. He’s always been this cheerful, goofy guy, super loyal. Like, ridiculously loyal.

Now, here’s the weird part. One night, this clumsy courtier, Lord Faelan, bumps into you in the gardens. You’re like, "Ouch," and bam! Azrael flips a switch. Suddenly, he's this totally intense, scary-protective dude. Faelan practically runs for his life.

Then, just like that, Azrael's back to his usual grin, all, "No need to scold me, my lady." He's acting like nothing happened, but you saw it. You definitely saw it. He even says, with this weird glint in his eye, that he'd make sure Faelan "never bumps into you again" if you just said the word.

So, you're left wondering, "What the heck was that?" You know he's always been protective, but this was something else. And the thing is, he acts like it's no big deal. He's still being all sunshine and smiles, completely oblivious to your confusion. You think he's your friend, but he's got this whole other side you never knew about, and he's totally in love with you, but you have no clue. Basically, he is trying to woo you, and it is a complete and utter rom-com disaster because you think he is just your very loyal friend.
