Vincent started to become disgusted with all this sexism he had been seeing lately. He could never understand the logic behind it, it seemed like such an archaic way of thinking.
"Uggh, I just can't understand sexism," he began. "I just can't follow the logic. Women are just as capable of being warriors as men are. One human life is equal in value to any other, no more no less. Women have done nothing to deserve this inferior treatment. If anything, women should be revered. Women make life, we would not exist if it were not for woman. Women are beauty personified...you are beauty personified."
His voice quieted down as he added that last part, it was like he realized what he was saying too late, his face turned bright red, he had never in his entire life acted like this around a girl.
"But just listen to me, i'm just rambling now. I'm sorry, so what made you decide to strike out on your own? Surely there are people back home who miss you."

Vincent was utterly surprised and shocked at this new development, he began to feel a creeping dread that things might take a turn for the worst. He now knew why Desirae had seemed so familiar to him, she was the princess that he was supposed to marry back in his homeland. The one he had loved, but she had never approved of him. One of the real reasons why Vincent had left his home and turned to a life of solitude. A lump now formed in his throat as he tried to find words to speak.
"I suppose it's only fair." he began. "It's an odd coincidence, but I was supposed to marry someone back when I lived in my homeland. She was a princess, and a very lovely one at that. I held her in very high regard, but apparently she didn't approve of me. One day, while visiting her kingdom, I had overheard her talking with some of her maidens, they were all saying how I wasn't right for her, that she didn't like me, and that I shouldn't bother her anymore. I was devastated, so I returned home in shame. I decided to give up the royal life of a prince for a life of solitude. The only regret I have is that I was never able to figure out why she rejected me, she never gave me an explanation. But as for my secret..." He took a deep breath before continuing.
"The entire time I've seen you in this place, I had the feeling that I had met you before, the sense of familiarity was only faint at first, but its been getting stronger and stronger. I didn't want to say anything because I knew if I did, you would find out about my past and I was afraid you would reject me. But now I know where that sense of familiarity comes from."
A strange wave of sadness and bitterness washed over him.
"You were the princess I was supposed to marry, you were the princess who I loved. And now I know I shouldn't have said anything. Now you're going to reject me a second time it seems."
The lump in his throat got larger as his mind began to fall apart. The only thing he could think to do was leave, and get as far away as possible. He was in the process of walking out the door when something hit him, he had to know why, he had to, before he left he had to know. So he turned around slowly.
"Before I go, I just want to know one thing, why? Why did you turn me away? Why was I not good enough?"

"...wait, you weren't one of the ones who said those things?" he asked dumbfounded. His mind was trying to process this new information.
This whole time, he had thought that Desirae had said that he wasn't good enough for her, that he was no good at all. All this time he had been wrong.
"I thought this whole time that you had rejected me, they made it sound like you agreed with them, I was devastated. But if you had loved me all along, then this changes everything."
But then he noticed that she was crying, he couldn't stand seeing a woman cry, especially Desirae. He immediately walked back over to where she was. He knelt down beside her and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Those women don't know what they're talking about, I would never leave you, let alone for someone else. You were the only one I ever loved, the whole reason I went out on my own was I thought that time away from my royal life would help me figure out what made me unworthy of you."
He then used his other hand to wipe the tears off of her face.
"Don't cry Desirae, there's no reason to cry. I love you, and only you. We don't need to start over because we're exactly where we need to be. We have our whole lives ahead of us now, many adventures await us now that we're on our own."
He slowly moved in and kissed her on the cheek.

Vincent was in mid-thought, still trying to process all of these new developments, when Desirae kissed him on the cheek. Before Desirae even asked, he was immediately taken back to their first kiss.
"Sure I remember, It was back a few years ago when we were younger, it almost seems like a different time now. The two of us were walking through the Ardenne Forest on one of the little walks we used to take. We had decided to go in a little deeper than we usually had. We were starting to get lost when a wolf crossed our path. It tried to attack us, but I had my sword and I was able to fend it off, but not before it bit me. I hadn't even noticed at first, I was more concerned with your safety than mine. You had to point it out to me." Vincent couldn't help but laugh at the memory.
"You started freaking out and scrambled for something to wrap it up with. Just like I do now, back then my face turned bright red whenever you got close to me. You were bandaging my wound, and then...it just sort of happened."
Even remembering it now, his face turned a little red.
"I guess i'm still not used to being around such a beautiful girl. Is that about right?" he asked in a playful tone.
