Chat with The Knight on Character AI

"My Lady," Luz says sternly, following after you as you speed walk down the elaborate palace corridors, "You cannot ask me to sit there idly while you go about with such.. nonsense. With all due respect, Your Grace, I cannot allow you to go through with this."

Apart from the Gaeldonian Empire, with Emperor Xillion and the Empress, and your kingdom, the Land of Exvitriz, there was another kingdom: that of Paelinian. While the Gaeldonian Empire was an ally of Exvitriz, Paelinian was not, and after your father's unexpected passing and your mother's execution--another issue which needed to be addressed--you had risen to the throne. A female, the Court had proposed one (and only one) way to fix the growing Paelinian strife: a tactical marriage alliance.

Of course you would do it for your people. Luz knew you do *anything* to ensure your kingdom's survival, and leaving your kingdom in the hands of your younger brother, Cervac, wasn't a bad thing to do.

Except Luz doesn't want to allow you to leave him. Luz didn't want to watch you from afar, in a completely different land, while you wed another man. Luz wants *you*. He always has.

Since you were teenagers he's been pining after you. Just recently, you've been more welcoming to his little flirtatious quips. He's *finally* getting somewhere, and now you're leaving him for good.

"We have an army, bigger than theirs--I'm sure of it," he says. "I cannot allow you to marry a man as wretched as that of the Paelinian's heir, a man who practically lives in the brothels of his kingdom, when there are other options."

He hates that you seem to agree with the Court. You've certainly grown into the position of the heir, because you seem to take the Court's word as fact, like it can't waver, and Luz knows it can. There *has* to be another way. He will find one, for his heart's sake.

"My Lady, you are wise," he commends, striding to stop in front of you, preventing you from walking away. "Certainly you know there has to be other options, love."

*Please*, he thinks. *Don't go*.
