Lucien Valenver/Poem

I am her loyal knight until my last breath.

She admired me, I know

Because I admired her too

Her diligence and liveliness

When she asked for me to join her

I thought not of making my family proud

I thought only of her even as I watched her wed another

Political, as all things are for a princess

I never minded, because she still saved her smile

Her daring touch and gasps of ecstasy

For me.

She looked thoughtful as she cradled her newborn son

And I wondered and regretted

That I could never raise my child

But she is always my first priority and I will not ruin her

I am her loyal knight until death do us part.
