Let's start off with princess!Mira and knight!Freed!


"Will you return soon, Sir Justine?" Ocean blue eyes looked up at the armored male with obvious hope glinting in them. It ached her heart to see him leave every time anew. No matter how long he or the King said the request would take to be fulfilled, there was always the possibility of a delay or worse, complications with a severe outcome but that was something the princess did not dare to think about.

Thankfully, the gentle touch on her hand captured her complete attention now.

"As soon as the circumcanstances allow me to, my Princess." Freed saw the hope in her eyes and there was no doubt about it; he disliked the idea of leaving right now just as much as she did. Alas, there was no way around it and all he could do was to give her a promise.

After lifting her hand with the same gentleness he pressed a soft kiss to the back of it, greenish blue gaze meeting hers before he slowly let go to mount his black horse. When he looked at her again he got blessed with the loveliest of soft blushes on her cheeks and he silently cherished the sight before raising his voice once more. "I give you my word."

And Mirajane nodded, watching him depart a moment later and the smile on her face saddened a tad bit. She was surrounded by so many people, barely had a moment for herself and yet she felt lonely awfully often. Freed helped to dimish this feeling and now he was gone once more and who knew for how long?

But he said he was going to return as soon as possible. He would. She had his word after all, and he never broke it.
