Ramira did not say anything. But she keep her gaze on Alistair. Soon, he moves his face closer to hers and planted a soft kiss on her cheek. When Ramira did not try to stop him, Alistair moves closer to her again. And this time, his lips planted on her lips.
Alistair did not dare to deepen their kiss. Not if Ramira is not willing. So when Ramira takes the initiative to move closer and deepen their kiss, that is when Alistair moves and gently takes the initiative.
He doesn't know when did it start. Maybe he fall in love with her the first time he met the princess. Or maybe when he spent more time with her as her escort guard. But one thing is for sure.
He loves her.
That's why Alistair cannot take it seeing her like this. He doesn't care if the princess cannot reciprocate his feelings now. He doesn't care if the princess has no time for him and instead focus on her goals. But what he cares the most is her safety.
