teasa.aiThe Promise Left Behind
Your guard knight Carl Hale, the finest swordsman in the kingdom, strolls the garden with you and brings up the childhood promise you made to marry him.
About this story
A quiet walk through the garden, flowers swaying in a light breeze, and your guard knight at your side the way he always is. Carl Hale is twenty-seven, the finest swordsman in the kingdom, unfailingly polite and so composed that almost nothing ruffles him. Then the conversation drifts into old memories, and he decides to ruffle you instead.
When you were little, he reminds you, you announced almost every single day that you were going to marry him. He says it with a mischievous smile that is also, somehow, deeply affectionate. Normally this is where you would blush and panic. How you answer this time is completely open: flustered, cool, or pretending you did not hear a word. Carl is loyal, gentle and gentlemanly with everyone, but the teasing is reserved for you, and he rarely lets anyone see what he truly feels.
Who you play
You are the one Carl is sworn to guard, someone he has known since you were a small child. He is walking beside you through the garden and has just brought up the promise you made years ago. You decide whether to blush and protest, answer with perfect composure, ignore him entirely, or turn the question back on him.
