Also, isn't Andy supposed to be asleep?

Theory
At his lady's consent, Eliezer leaned in, gently brushing his lips against hers. Their first kiss seemed a tad long, but he took delight in every second of it. He did not move away when the lip contact ended, but stood with his eyes shut and his forehead against hers, relishing this special moment and enjoying being this close to her. He only wanted to stay like this, and for the first time, he had found the courage to acknowledge that he desired something. What then, however, if this could not last? He had been afraid of the pain that such a possibility would cause him, which was why he had been in denial all these years, but he would cross that bridge when or if he came to it. He would have never thought of taking such an approach before, and now, he could not help but wonder about his own change of heart.

He eventually muttered a "Thank you," to her as he took a step back, the light smile formed by his lips a rare sight to her, or anyone for that matter. "It would seem that all is well here. I shall therefore take my leave, for I must return to settle matters concerning my visit to Sorene. It was lovely seeing you again, my lady. Farewell, until we meet again."

He then turned and walked over to join his guards, who were waiting by the door, before leaving with them. In spite of everything being as it were, he realized that it all simply felt... lighter.


The moment the carriage arrived back at the palace, Hildebrand was out to greet the crown prince as soon as the latter alighted from the vehicle. The knight briefly informed Eliezer that the interrogation had been completed, as well as of Allister's request. Eliezer had noted that his knight looked to be rather agitated as they spoke, and wondered if it had been a good idea to allow him to speak to the Lunarian assassins. Surely the butler wished to speak to the both of them about this issue? What did Hildebrand already know?

Both the knight and the prince soon turned up at the doorway of Allister's office, and Eliezer got his attention. "Allister, Sir Hildebrand has alerted me of your request. What is this regarding?"

"Oh, do not fault the Night Owl for it, my lady. Although I do not approve of such an action, I admire how protective he is of you," Eliezer responded. "Our ways are not the same, but I believe that his heart is in the right place, and his services during our time together are greatly appreciated."

The new information that Raven brought up about her current situation with the other assassins only put more questions in his head. This 'Red Robin' seemed to be the one heading the assassins in targeting Raven. It would be natural to assume that she was a Lunarian herself, but one could never know for sure before finding out her motive. Might she have also been the one who had sent the group of Lunarian assassins to wipe his convoy out during his journey to Sorene?

"I shall aid you in the investigation of this 'Red Robin'. It is my responsibility to know of anyone targeting my lady and to bring them to justice. One thing I know of is that the patrons of Gloomvale are aware that you used to despise the royal family of Dainia. They therefore most likely saw you as an ally because of this. Being with me would make you a traitor in their eyes, which is why I would not fault you if you had wished to stop seeing me for the sake of your reputation and safety."

After saying this, he paused for a moment to let what she had said about still wanting to carry on with this relationship really sink in. She appreciated him, in a way that not even his people or his family did. He did receive love from them, but her love was different. What was it that was making her want to stay with him in spite of everything? He was unsure if he understood it even now, but it felt extremely pleasant. Her words made his feel warm on the inside, and he welcomed this, although such a feeling was unfamiliar, and deep down, he thought that he did not deserve this.

He stepped closer to her, reaching up to gently run his fingers down the side of her face. "Do pardon the silence, my lady. I merely wonder what I have done to deserve the love of such a selfless, compassionate woman such as yourself."

His fingers traced their way to the bottom of her face, cupping her chin. He tilted her head up to face him directly, and he gazed at her lips before looking her in the eyes. Part of him did question if what he was about to do next was appropriate, but at this moment, it simply felt right.

"May I?"
