Chapter 5 - The Knight

The crowd grows silent. Everyone is just staring at the King on the ground. Your heart is beating fast and you realize you're holding your breath. He just lies still on the ground.

(Get up! Get up! You can't do this to me, you can't be you and then...)

You want to run to him but Kendra stops you and nods with her head towards the princess, who's already close to him. Then it hits you, he already has a someone. He lifts his head and the crowd goes wild with cheering. He sits up straight and the princess hugs him. His gaze falls on you and he nods slightly. You smile with your eyes, filled with concern.
