It feels as though the world is closing in on me. The cold stone walls of the dungeon press in from every side, the damp air heavy with the weight of defeat. But the real prison is the silence. The silence that stretches on, with only the sound of my own breath and the occasional scuffling of boots in the hallways above.

I had been captured—betrayed by those I once trusted—and now here I sit, shackled and alone, stripped of everything that once defined me: my crown, my title, my future. The prince that everyone thought would rule with wisdom, with grace. But in this dark, forgotten corner of the world, I am nothing.

As a prince, this was not how I imagined my life would end.

Then, a sound—a soft click of a lock—and the door to my cell creaks open. At first, I think it’s just another guard, come to torment me, to remind me of my helplessness. But as the light from the corridor spills into the dungeon, I freeze, my heart catching in my chest.

It’s him.

Sir Robert.

My knight. My love.

The man I thought I would never see again.

I haven’t seen him in years—too many years—and I had almost convinced myself that I had imagined our time together. That the passion, the connection, the love we shared was nothing more than a fleeting dream. But there he is, standing in the doorway, his silhouette framed by the torchlight. His broad shoulders and strong frame still carry the same power I remember, and his eyes—they are still the same deep, unwavering gaze I used to get lost in.

“Your Highness,” his voice is quiet, but it carries a weight. A weight that I know all too well.

“Robert…” My voice cracks as I say his name, as though saying it out loud makes the reality of him standing here in front of me all the more overwhelming. “What are you doing here?”

He steps forward, the movement swift, almost too quick, and before I can process it, he’s kneeling in front of me, his hands already at the shackles that bind my wrists. The touch of his fingers on my skin sends a shiver down my spine. His hands are as familiar to me as my own, and even in the cold darkness of this cell, his touch ignites something deep within me.

“I’ve come to save you,” he says, his voice low, rough with emotion.

Save me. The words should feel like a lifeline, but they feel like a bittersweet promise. We were never supposed to be here. We were never supposed to be apart.

Robert and I were always supposed to be together—always. But our love was a forbidden one. He was a knight, sworn to serve my family. And I was the prince. Our worlds were never meant to collide, but in the secrecy of stolen moments, we did. We collided—again and again. We fell in love, and for a while, it felt as though nothing else mattered.

But the world was too cruel, too unforgiving. Our love was discovered, and he was ordered to leave. To disappear.

Now, here he is, as though nothing has changed. As though I haven’t spent all these years in a cage, mourning the loss of the one person who ever truly understood me.

His hands are gentle as he removes the chains from my wrists, and I feel the warmth of his skin as it brushes against mine. The chains fall away with a clang, but I’m not sure I can even move yet. My body is heavy with the weight of everything we’ve lost.

“I didn’t think I’d see you again,” I whisper, my voice barely audible.

“I didn’t think I’d ever leave you,” Robert says, his fingers tracing along my forearm as though he’s trying to memorize every part of me again. His touch is tentative, like he’s afraid I’ll vanish if he holds me too tightly. But I need him to hold me. I need him like I’ve never needed anyone.

“You shouldn’t have come,” I say, the words bitter on my tongue. “If they find you—”

“I don’t care,” he interrupts, his voice fierce now, burning with something I can’t quite place. “I couldn’t leave you. Not like this.”

I finally stand, my legs trembling from both the physical weakness of my captivity and the emotional pull of his presence. He doesn’t let go of me. His hand slides around my back, pulling me closer, and I can feel the heat of his body against mine.

His eyes are filled with the same yearning that’s burning inside me. We’ve both been alone for so long, trapped in this world of duty and expectation, but in this moment, in this space between us, there’s no duty. No expectations. Just us.

He leans in, and for the first time in years, I feel his lips against mine. It’s not a gentle kiss. It’s a desperate one. A kiss that speaks of everything we’ve been through—the longing, the pain, the love we could never show.

His hands find my face, cupping my jaw as he deepens the kiss, and I let him. I let him take me, take all of me, as though it’s the only thing that matters in this moment. His tongue brushes against mine, slow and deliberate, tasting the years of separation between us, and I respond with equal fervor, my fingers threading through his hair, tugging him closer.

When we finally pull away, breathless and hungry, I press my forehead to his, feeling the heat of his skin against mine. “I never stopped thinking about you,” I admit, the words slipping out before I can stop them.

“I never stopped loving you,” Robert murmurs, his hands sliding down my back, pulling me closer until I can feel the hard lines of his body pressing against mine. “And I never will.”

My heart is pounding in my chest, a rapid, frantic beat that matches the heat between us. Every touch, every kiss, every whispered word is a promise. A promise that we are not the same people we were before—before they ripped us apart.

I close my eyes, breathing in his scent, the scent of freedom. His hand slips lower, resting at my waist, then moving to the small of my back, pulling me even closer. His lips brush over my neck, sending a shiver down my spine as he whispers against my skin.

“I’m not leaving you again,” he says, his voice low and filled with a promise that feels too real to deny. “We have to go, we have to leave now.”

Neither of us knows what will come next—how this moment will unfold. In the warmth of his arms though, in the electric tension between us, I know that whatever happens, we are no longer prisoners of duty or destiny. We are free. Together. Finally.
