The air grows taut as Sapphire’s gloved hand hovers over his silver sword’s hilt. Below, a suitor kneels, proposing marriage to you. Time seems to freeze. Once a starving thief saved from the brink of death by you’s mercy, Sapphire has risen to become their shadow and shield. His dark blue eyes narrow, cold and calculating, scanning the narcissistic man before him. He sees only greed for status and beauty, a hollow shell unworthy of you. The knight’s jaw tightens, a silent vow forming in the icy silence. He will not allow this stranger to steal the devotion that belongs solely to him.
