There is only one true thing that could break the bond of loyalty.

Love....




****************

The dark quiet night blackens the land and the moon, with its mysterious, ethereal glow is the only light touching the Earth. Beyond the castle, up in the highest balcony, she stands alone. She stands poised with manner and style. Her long, golden hair flowed like silk behind her as the wind blew by, whispering her name. She never loved him. She never did. She only did what she thought was right. He was the Prince, she was the Princess. Her loyalty made her feel alone and neglected. Her loyalty divided her from what she has always dreamed of.

She closed her eyes, as she felt, strong, warm arms wrapping around her waist. She felt warmth under his touch. No... she mustn't. She pulled away from him, turning her body around to face a tall figure. His rugged, handsome looks seem to penetrate through her mind. His stature made him look more than just a Knight. In fact, he seem to be born of royalty. His silver armor, thick and strong as it was meant to be, were molded into perfection upon his body to show his broad chest area and upon the right of his chest, an emblem of a Hawk gleamed to show his authority. His shoulders were weighed down with armory pads to protect them from attack and where a red cape was attached. The red cape itself flowed behind him, mimicking the silkiness of her golden hair.

"We shan't," she whispered. She brushed a golden strand of hair from her face and looked upon his green eyes.

He nodded. Knowing how much it pained him to let her go, he could not betray his King and his best friend. "You are right, your Highness. Betraying the King would mean betraying my friend." He turned around, towards the door where it was kept lock to keep himself from being known. He paused and glanced over his shoulder. "But, I will not stop loving you, my Queen. I will always care for you no matter what happens."

Tears fell from her face. She did not know why. She knew what consequences she had to face. From the moment she saw him, she instantly fell in love. Her thoughts were on him day and night. Blankly, she took a step forward as he began to advance to the door. "Wait," she called to him, silently. She watched him pause. His blond hair, so golden and beautiful was like a magnet on her hands, forcing them to touch it, to feel his smooth tresses.

Instantly, he gazed into her eyes, so blue and bright that he wished he could see them everyday. "Your Highness, what is it that you wish for me?" His tone of voice, lacking that soft texture that he once spoke to her disappeared, replacing them with a cold, commander-like tone.

"Please, do not speak to me, that way," she spoke, taking another dangerous option to step forward towards him. She shook her head, knowing how much she despised his tone of voice as of now. Her face softened and as she was near, she lifted up a hand towards his face, to feel his warm skin. "I never said I never loved you, Seifer," she said. She moved closer to him, her lips close to his.

Seifer sucked in a breath, taking a chance at moving closer to her, to her lips. There were no words spoken after then, as they met in a passionate kiss. He could not stand it. He wrapped his arms around her waist, their lips still locked in a loving kiss.

Quistis did the same, wrapping her arms around his neck, kissing him with as much love as she could.

Their love burned brighter than the moon out that night. Seifer guided her towards the bed and they landed softly and soundlessly together, their lips never leaving each other. That night, they declared their love for each other and that night, they knew they can never let go.


****************

"Must you leave so early?" she spoke, watching him putting his armor as he sat on the edge of the bed. She watched from the other side of the bed, blanket covering her naked self. She sat up, wrapping the blanket around herself and crawled towards him across the bed. She coiled her arms around his neck and rested her chin on his shoulder. "Please be well for me," she whispered in his ear.

He smiled and stood up. He kneeled down to her eye level and wrapped his arm around her waist. "I will be well for you," he replied, pulling her closer to him. He kissed her forehead and then her lips. "I shall think of you so I will find my way when I am lost."

She rested her head on his chest, tears falling from her eyes. "Promise me you will return to me, Zell," she whispered. "I will think of your safe return."

He knew he could not promise her of his safe return, yet he agreed on her behalf. "I promise, Selphie," he replied. "I never break promises." True, he has never broken a promise from his girl friend before, but this time he must. He must for the sake of the Kingdom. He must for the sake of royalty.
