Forbidden Love

"Your cheeks are so soft!" The woman exclaimed while the butler, the maid, and the king all facepalmed at her innocent smile. They knew this woman too well, yet they hadn't gotten used to her antics yet. However, today it seemed like her antics might have saved a promising young lad's life, and therefore they were willing to overlook many of the things she would do.

Holding her hands, I slowly moved them away from my cheeks and spoke-

"Madam, that hurts a little." 

"But I saved your life; the least you can do is give me the right to pinch your cheeks." She puffed out her chest with pride and began to look at me with a glint in her eyes.

While I was flabbergasted by her answer, I had nothing to say in return. She saved me from using an immortality token, and that's what really mattered in the long run.

"No reply? I guess I'll just dig in!" She shouted excitedly and continued to pinch my cheeks despite being a good inch or two shorter than me.
