After conquering a village he wants to take a prize to his home land so he starts looking for one. And while having a stoll in the garden he saw her... she was drowing her feet in the cold water of a fountain.
She had long brown hair which tips touched the water while she was standing in the fountain. She was wearing a white nightgown which showed a part of her thighs.
He already knew she was the villages rulers daughter, she was a copy of her grandmother, whom was admired by everyone and had multiple portraits and statues.
The moon was shining brighter that night and somehow she was the only one receiving her light making her look like a saint while she was tying her hair.
She looked so relaxed even though her village had lost against us. But apart from that she looked so...lonely.
Something that leon didn't care about so he just left, and after that day he couldn't get her out of his head. He didn't even see her face he just saw her back and even when she turned her face he couldn't see her cause she was shining brighter than the moon.
-a month after the episode-
Leon's pov:
We are gonna make our departure in a week and i still haven't choosen any prize to take with me...cause of that woman. I can't get her out of my head!
"...your grace?" says nelson my left hand
" what?" i say while sitting on my desk and brushing my hair with my hand
"perhaps is there something troubling you? i don't mean anything but it's just that we just have one week left and you still didn't choose any prize to take with you"
"...do you know the ruler's daughter?"
".....uh? what? the ruler's daughter?...I-I know some rumors your grace"
"tell me about it"
"well she is said to be really timid and stays in her chambers all day reading. They say she is the most beautiful woman in the east. But i have never seen her."
"how old is she?"
"she is in her twenties your grace"
"mh...that's good, make some way for us to meet, today" i get up and leave the office
"...what?"
-after two hours-
"y-your grace!" says nelson while running to me while i was training
"what?"
"...uh uuhh... you have to go now..t-to meet with the ruler's daughter"
"i see...i guess you prepared some clothes for me right?"
"yes you have time to have a shower and change"
"alright" i stop training and go prepare myself
-nelson helps me reach my destination and leaves, it's a detached part in the garden where two chairs and a table with small sweets and two cups of tea were, so i proceed and sit on a chair.
after about half an hour i see her... she is wearing a long white dress that has small red flowers on the waist and on the bottom. She's wearing a big red shawl that covers the back of her hair and her arms. And finally she came closer and i can see her face, she has black doe eyes that kept looking down all the time without looking at me once while i... can't take my eyes off of her.
She brought a servant with her and before sitting she bowed and i heard her voice "good evening, your grace" an angelic voice, so soft and quiet and she still didn't look at me once.
She sat and we kept quiet for a while so i choose to start talking:
"how was your day, lady sama?"
she takes a sip of the tea and proceeds to answer "good...my day was good, what about your day your grace?"
"it was fine, got some work done and trained"
"i see", i guess she doesn't know how to make conversation so i take the lead and ask her what she did today. "i just read today "
"oh and what did you read?"
she kept quiet for a while "what did you want to meet me for your grace?"
everything was going the right way but then she just asks that and for the first time she looked at me, mah she actually glared at me so i guess she was obligated to meet with me.
"i'm going to take you as my prize and my wife" i say without thinking
she proceeds to look at me with surprised eyes and says "what?...why?"
"you're the most beautiful and interesting thing i found here so i want to be your husband"
"u-uh?" i noticed her cheeks turning red
"mh? has no one told you how beautiful you are? i'm pretty sure there was at least one person"
"not really...they all think im weird"
"why is that?"
"...cause of the things i read"
i tilt my head as if asking what she reads, she looks at me shyly for a second and says "...men engaging in sodomy.."
