XI. wrote for the eclipse, wrote for the virgin
It seems to him that her beauty only grows with the days; he believes that she could outshine the sun and the moon at once. He has wondered if these changes are real, or if they are only perceived by his eyes. Does she appear more lovely to him because of her growing talents? Or perhaps, he has dared to think, is it because she might come to love him?
This thought brings him more hope than he has known in a long time, and he is determined to protect her, to make sure that she remains his alone. No other man could ever give her what he can, and he will see to it that no man but he will ever taint her purity.
