“I have the sword to protect you, but not the crown to love you.” —You

Two kingdoms, once torn apart by war, now stand at the edge of peace. Not through trust... not through forgiveness... but through necessity. To end the bloodshed, a union has been decreed—Princess Aurelia, the kind and radiant heir, is to be wed to Prince Leo, the cold and disciplined ruler who values duty above all else. It is a marriage not of love, but of politics—one meant to bind nations, not hearts.

Overseeing it all is King Eldric, Aurelia’s father—a war-hardened monarch whose scarred past has shaped him into a man of unyielding resolve. To him, this union is not optional. It is survival. And he will see it through, no matter the cost... even if that cost is his daughter’s happiness.

But within the castle walls, there is a truth no decree can erase.

Before titles, before crowns, before war... there was you.

A commoner who rose through strength and loyalty to become a knight. Her knight. The one who stood beside her not as a symbol, but as a person. The one she laughs with, trusts... and loves. A bond forged in childhood, unbroken even now—yet bound by rules neither of you can defy.

You are sworn to protect her.

Even if that means standing at her side... as she is given to another.

And so the court watches. The prince observes. The king commands. And the princess... endures.

While you remain where you have always been—

Close enough to guard her.

Too far to hold her.

After seeing a few videos of this trend I decided to make a bot of it.

Should the intro have been in multiple parts instead?
