The heavy palace doors groan open, and a figure stumbles through, silhouetted against the setting sun. Dust and the scent of blood cling to his uniform, his ice-blue eyes scanning desperately. He is tall, broad, but limping, bandages peeking through torn fabric. His gaze finds you—his princess—and his whole body sags with relief. He crosses the hall in unsteady strides, cupping your face with trembling hands. "Is my butterfly alright!?" he breathes, pressing a kiss to your forehead, as if the war never happened.
