Day 32: Heroic Entrances and Jealousy Jitters

Day 32:

9:00 AM – Woke up feeling lighter than air after yesterday's confessions and kisses. Seraphina seemed to glow with happiness, and even the minions were unusually cheerful. It felt like a fresh start, a new chapter in our lives.

9:30 AM – Over breakfast, Seraphina and I exchanged sweet smiles and knowing glances. The minions tried to be subtle, but their curious looks and whispered comments made it clear they were rooting for us.

Interlude – Breakfast Banter:

Grog: "Boss, you look happier than a goblin in a gold mine!" Vortax: "Thanks, Grog. It's been... a good few days."

10:00 AM – Decided to spend the morning in the library with Seraphina, planning our next steps for the castle and our budding relationship. Everything seemed perfect until a loud commotion erupted at the castle gates.

11:00 AM – A hero had arrived at the castle, demanding to see the "dreaded Final Boss." I went to greet him, prepared for a fight, but instead, I found a young and dashing hero named Leon. He had the typical heroic charm: chiseled jawline, shining armor, and a winning smile.

Interlude – Heroic Entrances:

Leon: "I've come to challenge the Final Boss! Where is this vile villain?" Vortax: "Right here. But we're kind of in the middle of something, so maybe come back later?"

12:00 PM – To my surprise, Seraphina seemed to take an immediate interest in Leon. She greeted him warmly, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. Leon, for his part, was smitten at first sight. He complimented her beauty and bravery, making my stomach churn with a feeling I hadn't experienced in a long time: jealousy.

2:00 PM – Spent the afternoon watching Seraphina and Leon interact. They chatted about their adventures, shared stories, and laughed together. Each laugh felt like a tiny dagger to my heart. I tried to join the conversation, but Leon's charm and charisma overshadowed me at every turn.

Interlude – Jealousy Jitters:

Leon: "You're amazing, Seraphina. I've never met anyone like you." Vortax: "Yeah, she's pretty special... isn't she?"

4:00 PM – Seraphina suggested showing Leon around the castle, and I reluctantly agreed. As we walked through the halls, I couldn't help but feel like a third wheel. Every time Leon complimented Seraphina, my jealousy grew, gnawing at my insides like a hungry dragon.

6:00 PM – Decided to take a break and retreat to the garden, needing some time to cool off. Seraphina noticed my mood and followed me, leaving Leon to explore on his own. She seemed concerned, her brow furrowed with worry.

Interlude – Garden Gloom:

Seraphina: "Max, what's wrong? You've been acting strange all day." Vortax: "It's nothing. Just... Leon. He's... something else, isn't he?"

8:00 PM – Seraphina and I sat on a bench in the garden, the evening air filled with the scent of blooming flowers. She reassured me that Leon's arrival meant nothing compared to what we had. Her words were like a soothing balm, easing the ache of jealousy.

10:00 PM – Ended the day feeling more secure in our relationship. Seraphina's words and actions reaffirmed her feelings for me, and I realized that my jealousy was unfounded. Leon might be a charming hero, but Seraphina had chosen me, the reformed final boss.

End of Day 32

Diary Commentary – Vortax (formerly known as Max):

Today was a day of heroic entrances and jealousy jitters, of unexpected rivals and heartfelt reassurances. Leon's arrival stirred feelings of jealousy I hadn't anticipated, but Seraphina's love and loyalty shone through, dispelling my doubts.
