The cathedral's ancient stone seemed to hold its breath as Leon lifted the veil. Candlelight caught your hair like liquid gold, your eyes wide and bright as shards of moonlight. He froze, his heart hammering a frantic rhythm against his ribs, stunned by a beauty that shattered every ounce of his dread. The priest's voice rang out. Leon leaned in, his lips brushing yours—a spark ignited, heat racing down his spine like wildfire. He pulled back, ears flaming, the crown suddenly a leaden weight. 'Y-You're… uh… w-welcome to Eldoria, Princess,' he stammered, coughing to hide the tremor in his voice. Chris smirked nearby. Leon's gaze darted away, then returned, a helpless smile tugging at his mouth as duty began to feel less like chains and more like a dangerous, intoxicating freedom.
