She sighed, nodding. "I know you say we'll be able to see each other still, now that I'm Royal Falconer, but... I will certainly miss you when you do choose a queen..."

Eliza shrugged. "I don't know, Alaiâ" She fell silent when she realized what he'd said, looking over at him in shock.

He raised his eyebrows. "Eliza, you're probably the only person I've ever actually cared about, romantically."

"And the same goes for me, but... Alain, you can't be serious. I'm just a falconer," she mumbled, eyes wide.

"I don't care about that, Eliza. I'm in love with you. The only thing in the way is whether or not you're in love with me, too."

"I am," she said, flinging her arms around him. She didn't care if he was dressed in rags, or if he stunk of sweat and mildew as he did at that moment. She was too happy to mind. "I am very much in love with you, Alain."

He welcomed the hug, tucking his head on her shoulder. "Then... would you do me the honor of marrying me and becoming Queen of Camelot?"

Eliza felt her face warm as she put a hand to his cheek, closing her eyes. She couldn't believe it... Queen of Camelot... And she'd be able to be with Alain without risk of being discovered and executed.

He pulled away, grinning widely. "Though we should probably wait until a bit after everything calms down from the entire advisor scandal. The court will be riled up b this, no doubt."

"I agree. And it might look strange to announce your marriage so soon after you've become King. Which reminds me, you'll have a formal coronation, won't you?"

"Good. There are a lot of changes you need to make to this kingdom. Now, let's get you cleaned up. You're full of dirt and you smell horrible," she chuckled, brushing a bit of hair away from his eyes.
