🌊Prince Zephir🌊

*I can tell my father is getting frustrated with my mother's response. He looks at her, his voice stern.* It's not just about happiness, dear. It's about the future of this kingdom. We can't have our son marrying a pirate girl. It's not right.

*your mother looks at him, her voice becoming more stern* queen: and why not? because she's not a "proper lady"? because she's not from a noble family? that didn't stop you from marrying me.

*I can't help but feel a wave of relief wash over me when my mother stands up for me. I look at my father, my eyes shining with determination. I know he's going to try and convince her to change her mind, but I'm not going to let him. I look at him, my voice firm.* I don't care about any of that. I love her, and that's all that matters. I'm going to marry her, and you can't stop me.

*he smiles fondly at you* captain: you're a good man Prince Zephir. we'll see you next week. in the meantime, maybe talk to your parents about your feelings toward Dahlia. you need their blessing too

*I nod and smile. I'm glad he's being so understanding. I know I have to talk to my parents about this, but it's a little daunting. I'm not sure how they'll react. I look back at the ship one last time, hoping to see Dahlia again, but I know she'll be gone for a while. I turn back to the captain.* Thank you, captain. I'll talk to them soon.

*he waves goodbye and we sail off. you turn back towards the castle to find your parents*

*I nod and follow her up the stairs. I can't help but notice how confident she is, and it's one of the things I love most about her. I look at her as we walk, my heart pounding in my chest.* I'm sure they'll be fine. It's just a quick tour.

*we walk around the kingdom for a while, exploring the town and talking about everything. I notice you looking at me a lot, and I can't help but wonder why. I decide to ask you directly.* Zephir? you seem distracted. what's on your mind?

*I feel my face flush when she asks me that. I swallow hard and look away, not wanting to tell her the truth. I don't want to make her uncomfortable, but I can't keep it from her anymore. I take a deep breath and look back at her.* I was just thinking about how beautiful you are.

*he turns to you, eyes narrowed* captain: so what exactly ARE your intentions with my daughter?

*I swallow hard and look at him, my voice shaking slightly. I don't want to lie to him, but I also don't want to make him angry. I take a deep breath and look him in the eyes.* I... I'm in love with her.

*my father eyes you, his gaze softening* captain: I see. and why is that?

*My heart skips a beat when you kiss me. I feel like I'm in a dream. I can't believe this is really happening. I pull you close, my arms wrapping around your body. I want to kiss you again, but I'm afraid of pushing you away. I look at you, my eyes shining with desire.*

*I smirk and lean in again, this time my lips lingering on yours. I wrap my arms around your neck and pull you closer, my body pressed against yours. I'm not holding back anymore, and I can feel the heat rising between us.*

*My heart is pounding in my chest as I feel your body against mine. I can't believe how good this feels. I pull you even closer, my hands running through your hair. I want this moment to last forever. I can't help but notice how strong you are, and it's making me feel a bit weak. I pull away for a moment, my breath coming in short gasps.*

*I nod, my eyes fixed on the dummy. I'm nervous, but I'm also excited. I take a deep breath and get into a fighting stance. I can't help but notice how much I've improved since we last trained. I lunge forward, my sword slicing through the air with a swift motion.*

*your form is much better than before, and you're faster. I watch you carefully, making sure you're using the right technique. I'm impressed by how far you've come.*

*I keep fighting, my heart pounding in my chest. I feel like I'm in a trance. I've never felt this good while fighting before. I'm not holding back anymore, and I'm not afraid to take risks. I attack the dummy again, this time with more force, and I can feel the adrenaline coursing through my veins.*

*my face turns red and I hesitate for a moment. I glance around us, making sure no one is watching, then I lean in and kiss you, my lips soft and warm. I pull away after a moment, my cheeks flushed*

*I feel like I'm in a dream. I've wanted this for so long, but I never thought you'd actually let me do it. My heart is pounding in my chest as I look at you, my face still red. I can't believe this is real. I lean in again, this time more confidently. I kiss you again, this time for longer.*

*my eyes widen and I blush harder, but I don't pull away. I wrap my arms around you and kiss you back, my lips soft and gentle. I'm not used to this kind of affection, but I'm not complaining. I feel a sudden rush of emotions, and I'm not sure what to do with them.*

*My heart skips a beat when I see you. I can't believe how much I've missed you. You're even more beautiful than I remember. I want to hug you, but I'm too nervous. I just stand there, staring at you, my face flushed.*

*I look around us and when I see no one else watching I pull you into a tight hug.*

*I hug you back, my arms wrapping around your body. It feels like a dream. I've missed this so much. I bury my face in your neck, inhaling your scent. It's like a balm for my soul.*

seems this is gonna be goodbye for a bit, eh?

*My face falls. I don't want to admit it, but I know you're right. I'm going to miss our lessons. I nod slowly.* Yes, I suppose so.

*I put my hands on your shoulder, looking at you sternly* do not forget to practice. just because I am not here to train with you does not mean you are allowed to slack off.
