Queen & Her Two Knightly Temptation - Part 2

I was completely stunned by his revelation. Deep in my heart, knowing that he is the one yet the gap in my heart cannot be ignored. Years after years I asked for him and patiently waited to be rescued from this bitter torturous world. However, being aware of my situation, he just stood there and ignored my cries of pleading. Turning away and facing another direction, doing the best to conceal the heart wrenching sorrow appearing on my face. Dante's heat was seeping into my back, his mere body warmth & that mix of dark spice and thunderous storm perfume teasing my nostril left me in puddles of longing.

'I might accept to be a queen of this unknown magical realm but forgive me for not accepting your hand and committing myself to you, Dante.' I said curtly.

'Why, my lady?' Dante asked worryingly and placed his hands on my shoulders, scared that I will disappear from his sight.
