A Queen's Qualities

"You say those words without hesitation." She frowned and ignored the heat in her cheeks. Of course, hearing those phrases from him was enough to elicit a certain amount of pleasure from it. To see her Knight thoroughly and even anxiously enamored with her. And this was in spite of all their previously exchanged words.

Julius gave her a look, "Because they are true."

Her actions as of recent times showed no clue or even encouragement to this behavior and yet he still showed. It was both a nuisance and a compliment. More of the former though if she were to think of it carefully. Too much adoration for someone… she was aware of how quickly it could change someone.

One moment would be filled with adoration. Then the next moment would be unbridled rage if love was unrequited. Extreme possessiveness if otherwise.

It was a dangerous thing.

Better to have more lukewarm feelings between each other, to be tied by loyalty than love.
