Note: This chapter happened 10 years before the events of this fanfic and tells the story of how little Louise met her fiance.
Louise's POV...
I was 6 years old. He was the captain of the Griffin Knights and a good friend of my parents. It all started one summer when he visited us. From the moment I laid eyes on Wardes (that's the name of the man I gave my heart to), I felt there was something dark about him (not in a bad way). And I don't mean just the dark colors of his clothes (dark colored cloak, dark colored hat with a wide brim, dark colored boots, his trousers being the only light colored touch), I don't mean just his grey beard, grey eyes and grey, long hair. What I mainly mean is that he emitted an aura of mystery.
During the days he stayed at our house, he would spend his afternoons in the lovely countryside surrounding our imposing mansion. I was a little girl neglected by my family, because I couldn't excel at magic like my siblings, I felt lonely and unloved, so... it's not hard for you to understand how Wardes and I ended up talking and befriending each other.
Wardes supported me when no one else was there for me. He taught me to believe in myself, to never give up. He also taught me to enjoy my sexuality, to love my nude body, to... gulp... to masturbate.
That summer, a new world had opened up before me. I tried to grow up, to embrace my sexy side. I abandoned pigtails and had the house servants reform my hair into more attractive styles. I discarded my stupid, childish clothes and started wearing (at least during the afternoons I would spend with Wardes) sexy outfits, such as that red, one piece dress and slippers the same color, which really matched my pink hair. I started wearing perfumes.
I started trying to draw his attention in different, more adult ways. I can't imagine how stupid and awkward my six year old self must have looked when doing all that stuff. And yet, Wardes found it all funny and would always laugh, kiss my hair and tell me to relax and enjoy my childhood.
One afternoon, towards the end of that summer, Wardes took my hand and we went for a boat ride in the crystal lake close to my mansion. During that ride, when we were somewhere in the middle of the lake, he took a meaningful expression and asked me whether I wanted to see how two adults in love celebrate their love of each other.
I nodded enthusiastically. Wardes laughed, gently lay me down on my back and started kissing and caressing me while slowly undressing me. I closed my eyes and started sighing and moaning, surrendered to sensations.
Things started getting weird, though, when he began undressing himself too. It was the first time I saw a naked adult (at least the first time I recall). In my head, I was like 'eww, gross'. Especially that thing between his legs, which was really different from what my friends and I had between our legs, really shocked me. Nevertheless, I didn't want to spoil that romantic and adult (yes, adult, that was really important to me) moment, so I let him procceed.
When he slowly inserted his manhood in my undevelopped girlhood, I closed my eyes and felt our union, our love, our being one, a one that transcended this world. That first time, all those feelings were purely mental; my body wasn't developed enough to reciprocate physically as well. As far as my little, undeveloped in every way, body was concerned, I felt only some mild discomfort and disgust. At the end of our union, I felt him peeing inside me, which seemed really weird to me back then.
After that summer, every time Wardes took a leave from the squad and visited my parents, we would spend long, endless hours together, exploring our union. As years were going by and I was growing up, I started reciprocating physically as well during the act.
When I became 12 years old, I even began experimenting with the male house servants during the times Wardes was away. At some point, my fiance found out. And yet, instead of getting angry, he told me that he understood I have needs that need to be fulfilled even when he was away! He even gave me my first condom, explaining to me what it was and that I should use it now that I had hit puberty and got periods. How sweet!
The last summer before I left for the magic academy, Wardes told me that, when I graduated, we would get married. I wanted to cry of joy. And I did!
Wardes officially asked for my hand from my parents, who, of course, had no objections. And so, we got engaged.
Wardes told me that, now that I would go to a dorm school, I would meet many interesting guys and live many exciting experiences. He prompted me to revel in that, to enjoy my youth, dorm days before finally becoming a married woman.
During my days at the magic academy, indeed, I had some boyfriends and experiences. But it didn't matter, because my heart has always belonged to Wardes and I knew it.
I can't wait to graduate and start my adult, amazing life with him. He's everything to me. My lover, my mentor, my father, my friend, my protector, my God!
Last time I saw him, he had grown a beard. I think it really suits him. He's so handsome. And, since I'm so beautiful, I can't imagine how beautiful our children will be. The children of Wardes Francis and Louise De La Vallerie! Or should I say Louise Francis? Of course I will take my husband's last name! This is the proper thing to do, as much as I like my current last name.
