They didn't often have a great deal of time to themselves now, and he swore to himself that they wouldn't waste it.

22. Loyalty

He mused on the wasteland that his kingdom had become and, as he saw his wife and small daughter playing nearby, reminded himself that he had at least two people who were loyal to him.

23. Strength

It wasn't until he came to her and begged for her forgiveness that he understood how strong she really was.

24. Defeat

He groaned loudly as he watched her take his queen and vowed to himself that he would never again underestimate her chess skill.

25. Flirtatious

She hadn't realized he was flirting with her at first, but when she did, she smiled to herself and joined him.

26. Food

She was shocked to learn that he had never eaten a pomegranate before.

27. Sharp

When she asked about the supposed danger of his bare right hand, he took off the gauntlet, touched his fingertips to her forearm, and helped bandage the five small, pointed wounds afterwards.

28. Language

She was surprised to hear her husband and daughter carrying on what seemed to be a serious discussion in a foreign tongue.

29. Date

He belatedly realized the importance of the date when Jasmine casually mentioned their wedding.

30. Communication

It surprised them to no end when an ambassador from a nearby kingdom appeared with a letter asking for his assistance and friendship.
