Elena’s Love  

Elena pursed her lips, released her boots, and dangled her feet on the warm waters below. "Are you thinking about your girlfriend?"

"You can tell?"

Elena chuckled. "I have been in love too, you know."

That got Ren interested. Who could possibly win the Princess's warrior heart? He must have been one hell of a man or NPC.

"With who, if I may be bold as to ask?"

Elena hesitated. She flicked her attention at the stars, and when she spoke again, there was a hint of sadness in her voice. "Prince Zeroth."

". . ." At first, Ren didn't know the name. It was like his brain was processing the name 'Prince Zeroth' because he refused to believe that it was the same Prince Zeroth he was thinking. It must be someone else.

But when he looked at the Princess's eyes, there was only truth in them, and Ren's mouth fell.

"Prince Zeroth of the dark elves?"
