As they meandered through the lush greenery, their minds wandered back to the stolen moments they had shared. Their secret rendezvous had become a lifeline, a source of solace and strength in the midst of the complexities of courtly life.

Evangeline's gaze met Alexander's, her voice filled with a mix of longing and determination. "We must remain steadfast, my love. The world around us may try to tear us apart, but our love will endure."

Alexander's grip on her hand tightened, his voice laced with determination. "I will fight for our love, Evangeline. No obstacle will stand in our way."
