"What makes me too good for you?!" she asked desperately, turning back to grab hold his arm.
"I love you Llyr... isn't that all that matters?"

Llyr looked at Sabela as she grabbed desperately at her arm.
"Bela..." He mused with sad frustration, using a nickname he'd always called her as a child, "You're a Princess, you deserve only the best high-class kind of men the kind of man your father will respect." He placed a hand on the side of her face, "I'm a sireless foundling with no recollection of anything prior to being given a place here as your guardian. Since a child that is what i have been, and that is what i will continue to be until you have no further use of me." He let his hand drop away, his expression somber.
He broke his eye-contact to look at the floor, "Nothing will hurt me more than watching you marry another against your will." He shook his head, "But neither you nor i can stop it from happening... not unless we wish this war to continue to claim innocent lives."

Sabela started crying again, but she turned away. She hugged her arms.
"If... you can think like that, I guess I can too..." she whispered.
There was a pause, then she got carefully to her feet, pushing away off of the tree trunk.

In an instant Llyr was on his feet and grabbing Sabela by the arm. He turned her around to face him and pulled her into a passionate kiss. It was filled with all the love for her he'd kept pent up for fear of getting in too deep. Now none of it mattered anymore.
"I love you Sabela. I would take on the entire Kingdom to stop this if only i could."

Sabela was taken by surprise by Llyr's sudden hold and kiss. So much so, that her first reaction was to struggle and resist. When he pulled away to speak though, she wrapped her arm around the back of his neck, touching his face. She pulled him back to her, kissing him back tenderly.
"Run with me," she whispered when she finally pulled away.

Llyr held Sabela close and touched her face, shaking his head with sad eyes.
"Where would we go Bela... and could you really leave your father?"

"He seems perfectly happy to send me away..." she whispered.

Llyr sighed.
"He loves you Bela. He wants to make the world a safer place for you to live... and that means ending this war."

Sabela's chin dropped.
"I guess... that means I should start getting my affairs in order," she whispered.

Llyr sighed... every word she spoke was making it harder for him to let her go...
"I'm sorry Bela." He said, gathering her up in his arms again.

Sabela cried in his arms.
"I wish I just didn't have noble blood..." she said bitterly.
"Maybe I'll just renounce my title."

"And leave the Kingdom heirless?" Llyr asked skeptically, "I am not worth a Kingdom Sabela. You might find you like this Prince." He tried to get her to see the bright side.

"No!" Sabela cried, hitting Llyr's chest with open palms.
"My heart belongs to you, not some stranger! To me you're worth this kingdom and a thousand more!"
"And if my father gives me away, there'll be no heir for this kingdom anyway. It doesn't matter..."

Llyr winced as Sabela hit him, not because it hurt, but because of how he was not making her feel any better... they were in too deep here, and there was nothing he could do to get her out of the hole they'd dug together... if one of them went down now they were both going.
"Listen to me Bela." He said, grabbing a gentle hold of her chin and forcing her to look at him, "Since i was a boy my life has been protecting you and giving you the chance to become the fine noble-woman you are today. I've dreamed the fairytale ending, i've whisked you away on a white charger to distant lands where we ruled together in bliss and peace, but reality does not working that way. I love you Sabela, but i cannot betray the man who gave me a home and a purpose." His eyes filled with grief, "And i wont see you throw it all away because of a foundling."

Sabela felt her tears slip from her cheek to trickle onto Llyr's fingers. She looked up to him with heartbroken blues. She couldn't find the voice to counter him, her spirit beaten down. After a moment, she simply looked away, pulling away from him.
"I have to go..." she whispered.
