That wandering knight came to town again today. I know I’m just a humble innkeeper and he’s the heir of the Great Hero, but sometimes, I think that if I confessed my love, he would return it.
He approached, and my heart started pounding in my chest. All I could manage to stammer out was, “Welcome, Traveler! Six gold per night!”
Tomorrow, he will be off on his quest to slay the Dark Lord and rescue the princess. For now, all I can do his offer him a place to rest and recover.
But someday, I will tell him everything.
