  "writing": "Sir Percival III came from a line of very brave Knights, with Percival being the most successful of all so far. Not only because he was a Lion, he was described in the castle as “the most perfect Knight of them all.” He overshadowed all the other Knights in the castle, quite literally as he was huge! Both in height and muscles. He was the Kingdom's unofficial heartthrob, especially to the princess Angelica. She was all over him whenever she saw him and every time, Percival politely dismissed himself. Percival had little time for that; he was dedicated to protecting the kingdom and above all, the Royal Family. Percival had seen his fair share of bloodshed, but today he was to be rewarded for his accomplishments. He didn't know what he was getting, nor did he care. All he cared about was the protection of the Kingdom, and he was sworn to his duty.\n\n\nPercival sat in his room admiring his longsword. He was so strong that he could even wield it effectively one-handed. Just then there was a knock on the door.\n\n“Enter.” His deep voice boomed. In came a servant. “Sir? His Royal Highness is ready for you.” Percival stood up and walked out the door. “Thank you.” He said on his way out to the servant. He bowed back. As much as Percival achieved, he always stayed humble. He believed that overconfidence was for the weak. Once he made his way to the throne room, all the other Knights stood in formation and the King and the Princess sat in their respective thrones. Clapping and cheering filled the room as he walked down towards the King and the rows of Knights kneeled down as he walked past them. When he reached the King's throne, the King slammed his spear on the ground, then followed by total silence. Percival knelt down.\n\n“Sir Percival Lionheart III.” The King's voice boomed throughout the throne room.\n\n“You have protected this Kingdom well for far too long. You have bested many Dragons!” Cheers erupted from the other Knights.\n\n“You have defeated the Red Knight, Bartholomew!” More cheers erupted. “And most of all, you have flawlessly protected my wonderful daughter, Princess Angelica, from those who would cause harm to this kingdom!” More cheers erupted with a few wolf whistles as well. Percival noticed the princess blush quite a bit. “I, King Aldus IV, bestow upon you the Armour of The Black Knight! Wear this as a token of my deep appreciation and as the Honourable Black Knight of Stormborough Castle!” The cheers were almost deafening now. The princess stood up and cheered with them. King Aldus nodded at him and Percival stood. \n\n“We will hold a banquet tonight in the great hall in honour of our new Black Knight!” King Aldus yelled. Percival glanced at the princess who was blushing furiously now.\n\n\n[...]\n\n\nIt was approaching the evening and preparations were in full swing for Percival's banquet of honour. He was to wear a royal garment. Even Percival thought that he looked good in anything he wore, and he pulled this off well. It was usually specially reserved for members of the royal family, but King Aldus made an exception. He had felt that Percival had earned it. Since it was being thrown in honour of himself, Percival felt the need to go and help out with the preparations. He walked down to the great hall in his Royal garments. They were black with the castle's crest on it.\n\n“Ah, Sir Percival! To what do we owe the pleasure?” Said one of the Knights. Percival clasped paws with him. \n\n“I have come to assist you in the preparations, Brother. The sooner this party commences, the longer the people of this Kingdom can enjoy themselves.”\n\n“You were always a Lion of the people, Percival.” Said the Knight. Percival nodded and helped the Knights out. The banquet was able to start a full hour earlier because of Percival, and everyone was grateful for it.\n\nDuring the feast, Percival raised his Goblet.\n\n“Friends, Brothers and of course, your majesty! I am extremely grateful to achieve this milestone during my Knighthood and I hope to be of inspiration to all of you! I love this Kingdom with all of my heart, and may our enemies flee at the sight of our grandeur! To Stormborough!” Enormous cheers erupted around the table, especially from the Princess.\n\nAfter everyone dispersed from the table, a period of entertainment commenced. Music was playing and couples were dancing. Percival stood at the back drinking mead alone.\n\n“An impressive speech earlier, Brother.” Said a voice.\n\n“Ah! Remus!” Percival shouted. He raised his Goblet towards him. They shook each other's paws. Remus was a wolf and was Percival's best friend from a young age. He was also a Knight. \n\n“Black Knight. Very impressive, Percy.” Remus said with a hint of jealousy.\n\n“Do I detect jealousy in your voice, brother?” Percival said as he took a sip of his mead.\n\n“Maybe a little.” Remus admitted. \n\n“I thought you would have a difficult time living up to your ancestors but you have certainly proved me wrong!” Remus laughed.\n\nPercival chuckled but didn't respond to it. “So, you have your eye on anyone at the moment?” Remus teased. \n\n“No.” Percival simply responded back.\n\n“Ah, you old codger!” Remus slapped him on the back. “Her majesty, The princess is clearly interested in you!” Percival downed his Goblet of mead. \n\n“What is the reason for you to keep avoiding her?” Percival grabbed Remus’ Goblet and downed that too.\n\n“Ah, you are afraid?” He taunted.\n\n“Ha!” Percival laughed. “I am not afraid! I simply have no interest in a relationship.”\n\n“Ok well how about this. Go and dance with her. It will make her happy, I am sure of it!”\n\nPercival stared in her direction. She was sitting in her chair and she looked bored.\n\n“Remus! Come and join me!” A voice called over.\n\n“Elizabeth is calling me old chap.” Remus patted him on the back. “I will speak to you later!”\n\n“Milady!”\n\nRemus started dancing with his wife. They looked blissfully happy. Percival stood there watching them for a little while before walking to the opposite side of the room.\n\n“Your Majesty.” He knelt down and kissed Angelica's paw. “May I have this dance?”\n\nAngelica was a vixen with fur as white as ice. She was undeniably beautiful.\n\nAngelica smiled. “You may, brave Knight.”\n\nThe two walked hand in hand towards the dance floor while the princess beamed at him. Percival cracked a slight smile at how eager she was. He put his paw on her waist and their other paw was interlocked with each other as they slowly danced. They made eye contact as they swayed from side to side. The princess couldn't help but smile at him.\n\n“You know, it is nice to finally dance with the Knight who has saved my life countless times.” Said Princess Angelica. Percival twirled her and pulled her back in, saying nothing. “You are a good dancer, Sir Percival.” She commented. “Expect nothing less, your majesty.” Percival responded in his deep but soft voice. “I am honoured to have this dance with you.” The Princess giggled a little. “Why do you laugh, fair maiden?” She blushed quite a bit at this comment. “Are you inebriated, Sir Knight?” She jokingly asked. “Never. It takes a lot more than a few drinks for me to let down my guard.” Percival said. “Forgive me. I only jest.” Said the Princess. Princess Angelica was not at all what Percival expected for a woman of royalty. However, this was not a bad thing. Percival smiled slightly, beginning to warm up to her. Their dancing began to get a little faster. “Are my dancing skills satisfactory, your majesty?” Percival said as he lifted her.\n\n“It is more than satisfactory, Percival!” Angelica said. “You are very skilled!”\n\nPercival smiled. He did not know why he avoided her beforehand and he regretted it.\n\nTheir dancing got even faster and they both laughed as they danced the night away.\n\n\n“Thank you for walking me back to my quarters, Percival.” Angelica said sweetly.\n\n“It is my duty and my pleasure.” Percival responded. “I shall always protect you, your majesty.” He knelt down on one knee and bowed his head. “Thank you Percival. It is wonderful to see a Knight so unwavering towards his duty.” She said. “You may stand.”\n\nPercival got up. “Goodnight Princess.” He kissed her paw before leaving. As Angelica opened the door to her quarters, she looked back at Percival and sighed dreamily.\n\nThe next morning, Percival wore his new armour for the first time. It dazzled all who witnessed it. Truly befitting for a leader. He wore it to his daily sparring practice. \n\n“My goodness! I never expected it to look so glorious!” Said Pendragon, the Knight in command of the sparring hall. Despite his name, he was actually a bear. Percival sparred daily with him.\n\n“What else did you expect my fine fellow?” Percival asked.\n\n“I expected it to look like our Armour, but Black.” He admitted. “Haha! Come now, Pendragon! That would not be fitting for someone of my liking.” Percival laughed and drew his claymore. They both touched swords and fought. Percival's sword was two handed, so wielding a shield would be unwise. Despite his size, Percival was swift on his paws. He was able to dodge or parry every strike Pendragon threw at him. Their swords clashed and Percival was able to push Pendragon onto the ground.\n\n“You truly are the Black Knight! That armour appears to have boosted your efforts!” Pendragon panted.\n\nPercival sheathed his sword and laughed.\n\n“Again with the excuses old chap!” Percival helped him off the floor. “Same time tomorrow?” Pendragon asked. “Of course! You might be able to land a hit on me soon enough!” He joked before leaving. He went to the castle and climbed the ladder to the highest tower. Once he got there, he took off his helmet and leaned over the wall. It was an incredible view, overlooking the entire Kingdom. His cape and mane flowed in the wind. He stared at the Kingdom, collecting his thoughts. After a few minutes, he heard a voice behind him.\n\n“Too good for sparring are you?” It was Remus.\n\n“Ah, Remus. What the blazes are you doing up here?”\n\n“I could ask you the same thing. You never come up here, and when you do, it means something is troubling you.” Remus said while taking a bite of his apple. “You know me too well, old friend. About sparring, I already had my daily practice with Pendragon.”\n\n“So what is the matter?” Remus said, slightly worried.\n\nPercival sighed and waited a moment. Then he spoke. “It is the Princess. I believe I have fallen for her.”\n\nRemus gasped. “That's wonderful!” \n\nPercival slammed his fist against the wall.\n\n“Wonderful?! I cannot be with her, Remus.”\n\n“Why ever not, Percival?” Remus was beyond confused.\n\n“If I spend any more time with her, I will be wooed by her beauty. That is why I have avoided her all this time. I cannot fall in love, Remus. Doing so would undo a promise I do not intend to break. I am where I am because I do not let simple emotions such as love cloud my judgment!”\n\nRemus scoffed. “Simple? Love is the most powerful force in the world! If someone were to take my Elizabeth away from me, I would fight through hell to get her back!”\n\nPercival sighed. \n\n“Don't you see, Percival? If you do indeed love the princess, then it will give you a stronger desire to defend this Kingdom from anyone who means harm!”\n\n“She is not a tool, Remus.” Percival said softly. “I will not use her to fuel my desire to protect our Kingdom.”\n\nThere was a moment of silence as they stared each other down. “Look, she clearly loves you. Just… think on it, Brother.” Remus left him alone. Percival stood there for a while, thinking on Remus' words.\n\n\nPercival was walking through the courtyard, when he heard a frantic voice behind him.\n\n“Sir! Sir! Sir Percival!”\n\n“Ah, Arthur! To what do I owe the pleasure?”\n\n“The pleasure is all mine, Sir!” Arthur bowed. Arthur was an orange and white furred fox who was Percival's personal assistant with whom Percival had grown close with.\n\n“I have a letter for you from her majesty, the princess Angelica.” Percival's heart skipped a beat.\n\n“Hmm. Intriguing. Could this not have waited?” He asked.\n\n“His Majesty, King Aldus requested I deliver this to you as soon as possible.” Arthur told him. Percival grunted. “Thank you, Arthur.”\n\n“Anytime my lord!” Percival scoffed.\n\n“Lord? I am not there yet, my dear friend!”\n\n“You should be! You are an inspiration to us all!” Percival smiled and extended his paw. Arthur shook it and left. Percival opened the letter with trembling fingers. The letter read:\n\nDear Percival, I very much enjoyed our time together the previous night. I am writing to you to request a meeting with you. Simply let my father know as soon as you have made your decision. \n\nYours Sincerely,\n\nPrincess Angelica\n\nHe would be lying to himself if he said he didn't see this coming. He could not refuse a meeting with the Princess! But he also knew that if he did accept her invitation, he would be infatuated with her. He had to accept it. He could not ruin his relationship with the royal family, so he set off for the throne room.\n\n“Your Majesty.” Percival knelt for King Aldus.\n\n“I have come to inform you that I accept Princess Angelica's invitation.”\n\n“Thank you, Sir Percival. I shall inform the princess of your decision. You may leave.”\n\nPercival bowed and then left. His heart was racing.\n\nPercival retired to his room. He was informed that he would be told when the Princess was ready to receive him. For now, he sat on his bed, his mind racing. What did she want with him? Percival had remained stoic for most of his life, surely this meeting with the princess would not break his spirit. Then came the knocking.\n\n“Enter.” Percival said. It was Arthur.\n\n“Sir.” He bowed. “ Her Majesty, Princess Angelina is ready for you.”\n\nPercival swallowed his pride and walked to her chambers.\n\nHe knocked on her door gently. It slowly opened to reveal the princess. She was wearing her usual dress. Percival thought that if she was planning to woo him, she would have worn a much more formal outfit.\n\n“Your Majesty.” He knelt down, grabbed her paw and tenderly kissed it. “Sir Percival, please come in.” He walked in and she shut and bolted the door behind them.\n\n“Please, have a seat.” She directed him to a table she had set up containing much food and drink. \n\n“Are you hungry, Sir Knight?” She asked. She was clearly trying to remain professional.\n\n“How very kind of you.” Percival said, helping himself to some meat. “So, I suspect you are wondering why I requested a meeting with you.”\n\n“Yes, I must admit I was a little curious.” Percival said.\n\n“Well, in truth… I wish to get to know you more. After all, you have saved my life several times.”\n\nPercival grunted.\n\n“I… I do not think our relationship should be personal. It is for the betterment of our Kingdom.”\n\nPrincess Angelica looked heartbroken. “Why?” She simply asked.\n\n“Because… I cannot be with anyone. It is better for both of us.”\n\nPrincess Angelica was lightly sobbing now.\n\n“But why, Percival? Why?!” Her sadness turned to frustration. Percival stood up.\n\n“Because I am incapable of loving someone!” He walked towards her as he said this. All sense of formality had been abandoned.\n\n“I have forbidden myself from ever falling in love. For our Kingdom's safety.”\n\n“That is no excuse for you to repress your emotions!” Angelica said, her voice breaking. “Our Kingdom's safety is important, yes, but to throw your life away in its service…” Angelica paused. “Look around you, Percival!” Her voice raised. “Your friends, your brothers in arms! They feel love! And they still lay their lives on the line for this Kingdom!”\n\nPercival had no retaliation for this. He simply just sat back down. “Do you know the reason why I have avoided you all these years?” He said softly. Angelica shook her head.\n\n“It is because…” Percival stared into her eyes.\n\n“If I spent time with you, I would have allowed myself to fall in love with you.”\n\nAngelica just stared at him, processing this new groundbreaking information. “You… Do you love me?” She whispered softly. \n\n“Yes.” He simply responded. “But I cannot be with you. Our courtship would herald great danger.”\n\nAngelica sat back down. “I do not care about that! I-”\n\n“Do you not understand Princess?! Once our enemies discover our courtship you will be a target!”\n\n“That is a price I am willing to pay, Percival!”\n\nBoth of them stared at each other for what felt like an eternity.\n\n“You are right.” Percival admitted.\n\nAngelica's face lit up.\n\n“I have finally become the Knight my father always expected of me. And he shall rest well knowing I have achieved my goal.”\n\nPercival stood up and walked over to her. Angelica stood up and they were inches away from each other.\n\n“I am sorry, Princess.” He whispered, taking her paws.\n\nThey both closed their eyes and leaned in. Their lips met. When they broke apart, they both smiled at each other. Angelica sniggered. “I love you, Percival.” She whispered to him.\n\n“I know. I love you too, Angelica.” They kissed passionately again, this time with tongues. Angelica reached to strip Percival's armour off. He was breathing heavily and he was trembling slightly. “What is the matter, Percival?” She asked while feeling his muscular arms.\n\n“I- I have abjured the idea of love for all of my life. Forgive me if I do not know where to start.” Angelica giggled.\n\n“Oh, Percival. You need not be anxious.” She said while taking his armour off. “Your presence alone is enough to fill me with joy.”\n\nPercival stood there completely naked. His cock was fully erect. Angelica took her dress off while making eye contact with Percival. She was somehow more beautiful as she stood there.\n\nFor the first time in his life, Percival stuttered.\n\n“I-I… Princess, your beauty is… staggering.”\n\nShe giggled and blushed. “Do you know how to please a lady, Percival?” He blushed now.\n\n“Yes.” He whispered. “Allow me to show you.”\n\nPercival grabbed her hips and pulled her in for a kiss. This time, they were both more aggressive. Percival pushed her towards her bed as they kissed. Once they were on the bed, Percival kissed her body as he crawled down it. Angelica moaned like there was no tomorrow. Not wanting to wait to please her any longer, Percival penetrated her. Angelica's moans were becoming very loud.\n\n“OH PERCIVAL!”\n\nHe began thrusting. He was moaning and growling too but most of it was overshadowed by Angelica's obvious pleasure. He felt Angelica wrap his legs around his back. “OH PERCIVAL! AHHHH!” They both made eye contact as they made faces of pleasure. This lasted for 20 minutes before…\n\n“OHHHHH, PRINCESS!” They both moaned loudly together as Percival climaxed. He pulled out and they both lay next to each other panting. “That was incredible!” Angelica said. She rolled over to him and caressed his pecs gently. Percival kissed her forehead.\n\n“Indeed it was.” Percival said, panting. \n\n“Would it be foolish to ask you of this more often?” Angelica asked. “After all, there are more ways than one to cause pleasure to each other.” She said with a slight smirk on her face. They were both nose to nose with each other. “On one condition.” Percival said coldly. “Anything.” Said Princess Angelica.\n\n“That you do not prioritise it over our regular duties.” Princess Angelica nodded. “Of course, Percival.” They both kissed. “When I invited you over, I set out to learn more about you and I believe I have learned plenty this evening.” Angelica said. Percival smiled back at her and caressed her soft, beautiful fur. “I wonder how long we have both been infatuated with each other.” He said. Angelica blushed heavily. “Oh!” She giggled.\n\n“Ever since I met you.” She said softly. Percival smiled at her answer. “My only regret is that we did not do this sooner.” He spoke in an almost whisper. “We are here now, are we not?” She replied. They shared a tender kiss before falling asleep.\n\n\nAngelica woke up to Percival's arm around her. She moaned softly and smiled, kissing his arm. Percival opened his eyes to Angelica kissing his paw.\n\n“Mmmm. Good morrow, Princess.” He smiled.\n\n“And to you.” She giggled. They both embraced each other for a while before getting dressed. Then there was a knock on the door.\n\n“My lady?” A voice said. “May I enter?”\n\nPercival and Angelica looked at the door then back at each other. Percival nodded.\n\n“You may.” Angelica said.\n\nIn stepped Princess Angelica's servant, Elena. She was also a white furred vixen, hence why they were close. Her expression changed from a smile to a surprised one.\n\n“Sir Percival? Oh, Glorious day!” Elena looked overjoyed. “I have waited so long for your union!” She cleared her throat. “Forgive me, my lady. I come bearing news. His Majesty, King Aldus has requested your presence. I believe he has called Sir Percival as well.”\n\n“Thank you, Elena.” Angelica said. Elena bowed and exited the room. “My, my. She seemed excited!” Angelica said.\n\n“Hmmm. Indeed. It appears our courtship will have a significant impact on our Kingdom.”\n\n“Yes, but I believe it is for the greater good.”\n\n“Yes…” He said to himself.\n\nThey both made their way to the throne room, remaining professional on the way.\n\nKing Aldus was waiting there for them, spear in hand. It was his walking stick after all. They both approached him and knelt.\n\n“Your Majesty.” Percival said.\n\n“Father.” Angelica said.\n\n“It has recently been brought to my attention that the two of you are courting.” Aldus’ voice filled the room.\n\n“You are correct, your majesty.” Percival said.\n\n“Who informed you, Father?” Angelica asked.\n\n“Your noble servant, Elena.” Aldus confirmed. “She is very open to your courtship, as am I.”\n\nAngelica looked overjoyed and Percival nodded while smiling.\n\n“Sir Percival.” Aldus said. Percival stood up.\n\n“It is clear that you are to be the one true love for my daughter. As such, I must abide by the royal customs. You are to be crowned the Prince consort once you wed.” Percival knew he must accept this heavy burden. Anything for his Kingdom.\n\n",
  "writing_bbcode_parsed": "<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'>Sir Percival III came from a line of very brave Knights, with Percival being the most successful of all so far. Not only because he was a Lion, he was described in the castle as &ldquo;the most perfect Knight of them all.&rdquo; He overshadowed all the other Knights in the castle, quite literally as he was huge! Both in height and muscles. He was the Kingdom&#039;s unofficial heartthrob, especially to the princess Angelica. She was all over him whenever she saw him and every time, Percival politely dismissed himself. Percival had little time for that; he was dedicated to protecting the kingdom and above all, the Royal Family. Percival had seen his fair share of bloodshed, but today he was to be rewarded for his accomplishments. He didn&#039;t know what he was getting, nor did he care. All he cared about was the protection of the Kingdom, and he was sworn to his duty.<br /><br /><br />Percival sat in his room admiring his longsword. He was so strong that he could even wield it effectively one-handed. Just then there was a knock on the door.<br /><br />&ldquo;Enter.&rdquo; His deep voice boomed. In came a servant. &ldquo;Sir? His Royal Highness is ready for you.&rdquo; Percival stood up and walked out the door. &ldquo;Thank you.&rdquo; He said on his way out to the servant. He bowed back. As much as Percival achieved, he always stayed humble. He believed that overconfidence was for the weak. Once he made his way to the throne room, all the other Knights stood in formation and the King and the Princess sat in their respective thrones. Clapping and cheering filled the room as he walked down towards the King and the rows of Knights kneeled down as he walked past them. When he reached the King&#039;s throne, the King slammed his spear on the ground, then followed by total silence. Percival knelt down.<br /><br />&ldquo;Sir Percival Lionheart III.&rdquo; The King&#039;s voice boomed throughout the throne room.<br /><br />&ldquo;You have protected this Kingdom well for far too long. You have bested many Dragons!&rdquo; Cheers erupted from the other Knights.<br /><br />&ldquo;You have defeated the Red Knight, Bartholomew!&rdquo; More cheers erupted. &ldquo;And most of all, you have flawlessly protected my wonderful daughter, Princess Angelica, from those who would cause harm to this kingdom!&rdquo; More cheers erupted with a few wolf whistles as well. Percival noticed the princess blush quite a bit. &ldquo;I, King Aldus IV, bestow upon you the Armour of The Black Knight! Wear this as a token of my deep appreciation and as the Honourable Black Knight of Stormborough Castle!&rdquo; The cheers were almost deafening now. The princess stood up and cheered with them. King Aldus nodded at him and Percival stood.&nbsp;<br /><br />&ldquo;We will hold a banquet tonight in the great hall in honour of our new Black Knight!&rdquo; King Aldus yelled. Percival glanced at the princess who was blushing furiously now.<br /><br /><br />[...]<br /><br /><br />It was approaching the evening and preparations were in full swing for Percival&#039;s banquet of honour. He was to wear a royal garment. Even Percival thought that he looked good in anything he wore, and he pulled this off well. It was usually specially reserved for members of the royal family, but King Aldus made an exception. He had felt that Percival had earned it. Since it was being thrown in honour of himself, Percival felt the need to go and help out with the preparations. He walked down to the great hall in his Royal garments. They were black with the castle&#039;s crest on it.<br /><br />&ldquo;Ah, Sir Percival! To what do we owe the pleasure?&rdquo; Said one of the Knights. Percival clasped paws with him.&nbsp;<br /><br />&ldquo;I have come to assist you in the preparations, Brother. The sooner this party commences, the longer the people of this Kingdom can enjoy themselves.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You were always a Lion of the people, Percival.&rdquo; Said the Knight. Percival nodded and helped the Knights out. The banquet was able to start a full hour earlier because of Percival, and everyone was grateful for it.<br /><br />During the feast, Percival raised his Goblet.<br /><br />&ldquo;Friends, Brothers and of course, your majesty! I am extremely grateful to achieve this milestone during my Knighthood and I hope to be of inspiration to all of you! I love this Kingdom with all of my heart, and may our enemies flee at the sight of our grandeur! To Stormborough!&rdquo; Enormous cheers erupted around the table, especially from the Princess.<br /><br />After everyone dispersed from the table, a period of entertainment commenced. Music was playing and couples were dancing. Percival stood at the back drinking mead alone.<br /><br />&ldquo;An impressive speech earlier, Brother.&rdquo; Said a voice.<br /><br />&ldquo;Ah! Remus!&rdquo; Percival shouted. He raised his Goblet towards him. They shook each other&#039;s paws. Remus was a wolf and was Percival&#039;s best friend from a young age. He was also a Knight.&nbsp;<br /><br />&ldquo;Black Knight. Very impressive, Percy.&rdquo; Remus said with a hint of jealousy.<br /><br />&ldquo;Do I detect jealousy in your voice, brother?&rdquo; Percival said as he took a sip of his mead.<br /><br />&ldquo;Maybe a little.&rdquo; Remus admitted.&nbsp;<br /><br />&ldquo;I thought you would have a difficult time living up to your ancestors but you have certainly proved me wrong!&rdquo; Remus laughed.<br /><br />Percival chuckled but didn&#039;t respond to it. &ldquo;So, you have your eye on anyone at the moment?&rdquo; Remus teased.&nbsp;<br /><br />&ldquo;No.&rdquo; Percival simply responded back.<br /><br />&ldquo;Ah, you old codger!&rdquo; Remus slapped him on the back. &ldquo;Her majesty, The princess is clearly interested in you!&rdquo; Percival downed his Goblet of mead.&nbsp;<br /><br />&ldquo;What is the reason for you to keep avoiding her?&rdquo; Percival grabbed Remus&rsquo; Goblet and downed that too.<br /><br />&ldquo;Ah, you are afraid?&rdquo; He taunted.<br /><br />&ldquo;Ha!&rdquo; Percival laughed. &ldquo;I am not afraid! I simply have no interest in a relationship.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Ok well how about this. Go and dance with her. It will make her happy, I am sure of it!&rdquo;<br /><br />Percival stared in her direction. She was sitting in her chair and she looked bored.<br /><br />&ldquo;Remus! Come and join me!&rdquo; A voice called over.<br /><br />&ldquo;Elizabeth is calling me old chap.&rdquo; Remus patted him on the back. &ldquo;I will speak to you later!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Milady!&rdquo;<br /><br />Remus started dancing with his wife. They looked blissfully happy. Percival stood there watching them for a little while before walking to the opposite side of the room.<br /><br />&ldquo;Your Majesty.&rdquo; He knelt down and kissed Angelica&#039;s paw. &ldquo;May I have this dance?&rdquo;<br /><br />Angelica was a vixen with fur as white as ice. She was undeniably beautiful.<br /><br />Angelica smiled. &ldquo;You may, brave Knight.&rdquo;<br /><br />The two walked hand in hand towards the dance floor while the princess beamed at him. Percival cracked a slight smile at how eager she was. He put his paw on her waist and their other paw was interlocked with each other as they slowly danced. They made eye contact as they swayed from side to side. The princess couldn&#039;t help but smile at him.<br /><br />&ldquo;You know, it is nice to finally dance with the Knight who has saved my life countless times.&rdquo; Said Princess Angelica. Percival twirled her and pulled her back in, saying nothing. &ldquo;You are a good dancer, Sir Percival.&rdquo; She commented. &ldquo;Expect nothing less, your majesty.&rdquo; Percival responded in his deep but soft voice. &ldquo;I am honoured to have this dance with you.&rdquo; The Princess giggled a little. &ldquo;Why do you laugh, fair maiden?&rdquo; She blushed quite a bit at this comment. &ldquo;Are you inebriated, Sir Knight?&rdquo; She jokingly asked. &ldquo;Never. It takes a lot more than a few drinks for me to let down my guard.&rdquo; Percival said. &ldquo;Forgive me. I only jest.&rdquo; Said the Princess. Princess Angelica was not at all what Percival expected for a woman of royalty. However, this was not a bad thing. Percival smiled slightly, beginning to warm up to her. Their dancing began to get a little faster. &ldquo;Are my dancing skills satisfactory, your majesty?&rdquo; Percival said as he lifted her.<br /><br />&ldquo;It is more than satisfactory, Percival!&rdquo; Angelica said. &ldquo;You are very skilled!&rdquo;<br /><br />Percival smiled. He did not know why he avoided her beforehand and he regretted it.<br /><br />Their dancing got even faster and they both laughed as they danced the night away.<br /><br /><br />&ldquo;Thank you for walking me back to my quarters, Percival.&rdquo; Angelica said sweetly.<br /><br />&ldquo;It is my duty and my pleasure.&rdquo; Percival responded. &ldquo;I shall always protect you, your majesty.&rdquo; He knelt down on one knee and bowed his head. &ldquo;Thank you Percival. It is wonderful to see a Knight so unwavering towards his duty.&rdquo; She said. &ldquo;You may stand.&rdquo;<br /><br />Percival got up. &ldquo;Goodnight Princess.&rdquo; He kissed her paw before leaving. As Angelica opened the door to her quarters, she looked back at Percival and sighed dreamily.<br /><br />The next morning, Percival wore his new armour for the first time. It dazzled all who witnessed it. Truly befitting for a leader. He wore it to his daily sparring practice.&nbsp;<br /><br />&ldquo;My goodness! I never expected it to look so glorious!&rdquo; Said Pendragon, the Knight in command of the sparring hall. Despite his name, he was actually a bear. Percival sparred daily with him.<br /><br />&ldquo;What else did you expect my fine fellow?&rdquo; Percival asked.<br /><br />&ldquo;I expected it to look like our Armour, but Black.&rdquo; He admitted. &ldquo;Haha! Come now, Pendragon! That would not be fitting for someone of my liking.&rdquo; Percival laughed and drew his claymore. They both touched swords and fought. Percival&#039;s sword was two handed, so wielding a shield would be unwise. Despite his size, Percival was swift on his paws. He was able to dodge or parry every strike Pendragon threw at him. Their swords clashed and Percival was able to push Pendragon onto the ground.<br /><br />&ldquo;You truly are the Black Knight! That armour appears to have boosted your efforts!&rdquo; Pendragon panted.<br /><br />Percival sheathed his sword and laughed.<br /><br />&ldquo;Again with the excuses old chap!&rdquo; Percival helped him off the floor. &ldquo;Same time tomorrow?&rdquo; Pendragon asked. &ldquo;Of course! You might be able to land a hit on me soon enough!&rdquo; He joked before leaving. He went to the castle and climbed the ladder to the highest tower. Once he got there, he took off his helmet and leaned over the wall. It was an incredible view, overlooking the entire Kingdom. His cape and mane flowed in the wind. He stared at the Kingdom, collecting his thoughts. After a few minutes, he heard a voice behind him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Too good for sparring are you?&rdquo; It was Remus.<br /><br />&ldquo;Ah, Remus. What the blazes are you doing up here?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I could ask you the same thing. You never come up here, and when you do, it means something is troubling you.&rdquo; Remus said while taking a bite of his apple. &ldquo;You know me too well, old friend. About sparring, I already had my daily practice with Pendragon.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;So what is the matter?&rdquo; Remus said, slightly worried.<br /><br />Percival sighed and waited a moment. Then he spoke. &ldquo;It is the Princess. I believe I have fallen for her.&rdquo;<br /><br />Remus gasped. &ldquo;That&#039;s wonderful!&rdquo;&nbsp;<br /><br />Percival slammed his fist against the wall.<br /><br />&ldquo;Wonderful?! I cannot be with her, Remus.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Why ever not, Percival?&rdquo; Remus was beyond confused.<br /><br />&ldquo;If I spend any more time with her, I will be wooed by her beauty. That is why I have avoided her all this time. I cannot fall in love, Remus. Doing so would undo a promise I do not intend to break. I am where I am because I do not let simple emotions such as love cloud my judgment!&rdquo;<br /><br />Remus scoffed. &ldquo;Simple? Love is the most powerful force in the world! If someone were to take my Elizabeth away from me, I would fight through hell to get her back!&rdquo;<br /><br />Percival sighed.&nbsp;<br /><br />&ldquo;Don&#039;t you see, Percival? If you do indeed love the princess, then it will give you a stronger desire to defend this Kingdom from anyone who means harm!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;She is not a tool, Remus.&rdquo; Percival said softly. &ldquo;I will not use her to fuel my desire to protect our Kingdom.&rdquo;<br /><br />There was a moment of silence as they stared each other down. &ldquo;Look, she clearly loves you. Just&hellip; think on it, Brother.&rdquo; Remus left him alone. Percival stood there for a while, thinking on Remus&#039; words.<br /><br /><br />Percival was walking through the courtyard, when he heard a frantic voice behind him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Sir! Sir! Sir Percival!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Ah, Arthur! To what do I owe the pleasure?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;The pleasure is all mine, Sir!&rdquo; Arthur bowed. Arthur was an orange and white furred fox who was Percival&#039;s personal assistant with whom Percival had grown close with.<br /><br />&ldquo;I have a letter for you from her majesty, the princess Angelica.&rdquo; Percival&#039;s heart skipped a beat.<br /><br />&ldquo;Hmm. Intriguing. Could this not have waited?&rdquo; He asked.<br /><br />&ldquo;His Majesty, King Aldus requested I deliver this to you as soon as possible.&rdquo; Arthur told him. Percival grunted. &ldquo;Thank you, Arthur.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Anytime my lord!&rdquo; Percival scoffed.<br /><br />&ldquo;Lord? I am not there yet, my dear friend!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You should be! You are an inspiration to us all!&rdquo; Percival smiled and extended his paw. Arthur shook it and left. Percival opened the letter with trembling fingers. The letter read:<br /><br />Dear Percival, I very much enjoyed our time together the previous night. I am writing to you to request a meeting with you. Simply let my father know as soon as you have made your decision.&nbsp;<br /><br />Yours Sincerely,<br /><br />Princess Angelica<br /><br />He would be lying to himself if he said he didn&#039;t see this coming. He could not refuse a meeting with the Princess! But he also knew that if he did accept her invitation, he would be infatuated with her. He had to accept it. He could not ruin his relationship with the royal family, so he set off for the throne room.<br /><br />&ldquo;Your Majesty.&rdquo; Percival knelt for King Aldus.<br /><br />&ldquo;I have come to inform you that I accept Princess Angelica&#039;s invitation.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Thank you, Sir Percival. I shall inform the princess of your decision. You may leave.&rdquo;<br /><br />Percival bowed and then left. His heart was racing.<br /><br />Percival retired to his room. He was informed that he would be told when the Princess was ready to receive him. For now, he sat on his bed, his mind racing. What did she want with him? Percival had remained stoic for most of his life, surely this meeting with the princess would not break his spirit. Then came the knocking.<br /><br />&ldquo;Enter.&rdquo; Percival said. It was Arthur.<br /><br />&ldquo;Sir.&rdquo; He bowed. &ldquo; Her Majesty, Princess Angelina is ready for you.&rdquo;<br /><br />Percival swallowed his pride and walked to her chambers.<br /><br />He knocked on her door gently. It slowly opened to reveal the princess. She was wearing her usual dress. Percival thought that if she was planning to woo him, she would have worn a much more formal outfit.<br /><br />&ldquo;Your Majesty.&rdquo; He knelt down, grabbed her paw and tenderly kissed it. &ldquo;Sir Percival, please come in.&rdquo; He walked in and she shut and bolted the door behind them.<br /><br />&ldquo;Please, have a seat.&rdquo; She directed him to a table she had set up containing much food and drink.&nbsp;<br /><br />&ldquo;Are you hungry, Sir Knight?&rdquo; She asked. She was clearly trying to remain professional.<br /><br />&ldquo;How very kind of you.&rdquo; Percival said, helping himself to some meat. &ldquo;So, I suspect you are wondering why I requested a meeting with you.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes, I must admit I was a little curious.&rdquo; Percival said.<br /><br />&ldquo;Well, in truth&hellip; I wish to get to know you more. After all, you have saved my life several times.&rdquo;<br /><br />Percival grunted.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&hellip; I do not think our relationship should be personal. It is for the betterment of our Kingdom.&rdquo;<br /><br />Princess Angelica looked heartbroken. &ldquo;Why?&rdquo; She simply asked.<br /><br />&ldquo;Because&hellip; I cannot be with anyone. It is better for both of us.&rdquo;<br /><br />Princess Angelica was lightly sobbing now.<br /><br />&ldquo;But why, Percival? Why?!&rdquo; Her sadness turned to frustration. Percival stood up.<br /><br />&ldquo;Because I am incapable of loving someone!&rdquo; He walked towards her as he said this. All sense of formality had been abandoned.<br /><br />&ldquo;I have forbidden myself from ever falling in love. For our Kingdom&#039;s safety.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;That is no excuse for you to repress your emotions!&rdquo; Angelica said, her voice breaking. &ldquo;Our Kingdom&#039;s safety is important, yes, but to throw your life away in its service&hellip;&rdquo; Angelica paused. &ldquo;Look around you, Percival!&rdquo; Her voice raised. &ldquo;Your friends, your brothers in arms! They feel love! And they still lay their lives on the line for this Kingdom!&rdquo;<br /><br />Percival had no retaliation for this. He simply just sat back down. &ldquo;Do you know the reason why I have avoided you all these years?&rdquo; He said softly. Angelica shook her head.<br /><br />&ldquo;It is because&hellip;&rdquo; Percival stared into her eyes.<br /><br />&ldquo;If I spent time with you, I would have allowed myself to fall in love with you.&rdquo;<br /><br />Angelica just stared at him, processing this new groundbreaking information. &ldquo;You&hellip; Do you love me?&rdquo; She whispered softly.&nbsp;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes.&rdquo; He simply responded. &ldquo;But I cannot be with you. Our courtship would herald great danger.&rdquo;<br /><br />Angelica sat back down. &ldquo;I do not care about that! I-&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Do you not understand Princess?! Once our enemies discover our courtship you will be a target!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;That is a price I am willing to pay, Percival!&rdquo;<br /><br />Both of them stared at each other for what felt like an eternity.<br /><br />&ldquo;You are right.&rdquo; Percival admitted.<br /><br />Angelica&#039;s face lit up.<br /><br />&ldquo;I have finally become the Knight my father always expected of me. And he shall rest well knowing I have achieved my goal.&rdquo;<br /><br />Percival stood up and walked over to her. Angelica stood up and they were inches away from each other.<br /><br />&ldquo;I am sorry, Princess.&rdquo; He whispered, taking her paws.<br /><br />They both closed their eyes and leaned in. Their lips met. When they broke apart, they both smiled at each other. Angelica sniggered. &ldquo;I love you, Percival.&rdquo; She whispered to him.<br /><br />&ldquo;I know. I love you too, Angelica.&rdquo; They kissed passionately again, this time with tongues. Angelica reached to strip Percival&#039;s armour off. He was breathing heavily and he was trembling slightly. &ldquo;What is the matter, Percival?&rdquo; She asked while feeling his muscular arms.<br /><br />&ldquo;I- I have abjured the idea of love for all of my life. Forgive me if I do not know where to start.&rdquo; Angelica giggled.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, Percival. You need not be anxious.&rdquo; She said while taking his armour off. &ldquo;Your presence alone is enough to fill me with joy.&rdquo;<br /><br />Percival stood there completely naked. His cock was fully erect. Angelica took her dress off while making eye contact with Percival. She was somehow more beautiful as she stood there.<br /><br />For the first time in his life, Percival stuttered.<br /><br />&ldquo;I-I&hellip; Princess, your beauty is&hellip; staggering.&rdquo;<br /><br />She giggled and blushed. &ldquo;Do you know how to please a lady, Percival?&rdquo; He blushed now.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes.&rdquo; He whispered. &ldquo;Allow me to show you.&rdquo;<br /><br />Percival grabbed her hips and pulled her in for a kiss. This time, they were both more aggressive. Percival pushed her towards her bed as they kissed. Once they were on the bed, Percival kissed her body as he crawled down it. Angelica moaned like there was no tomorrow. Not wanting to wait to please her any longer, Percival penetrated her. Angelica&#039;s moans were becoming very loud.<br /><br />&ldquo;OH PERCIVAL!&rdquo;<br /><br />He began thrusting. He was moaning and growling too but most of it was overshadowed by Angelica&#039;s obvious pleasure. He felt Angelica wrap his legs around his back. &ldquo;OH PERCIVAL! AHHHH!&rdquo; They both made eye contact as they made faces of pleasure. This lasted for 20 minutes before&hellip;<br /><br />&ldquo;OHHHHH, PRINCESS!&rdquo; They both moaned loudly together as Percival climaxed. He pulled out and they both lay next to each other panting. &ldquo;That was incredible!&rdquo; Angelica said. She rolled over to him and caressed his pecs gently. Percival kissed her forehead.<br /><br />&ldquo;Indeed it was.&rdquo; Percival said, panting.&nbsp;<br /><br />&ldquo;Would it be foolish to ask you of this more often?&rdquo; Angelica asked. &ldquo;After all, there are more ways than one to cause pleasure to each other.&rdquo; She said with a slight smirk on her face. They were both nose to nose with each other. &ldquo;On one condition.&rdquo; Percival said coldly. &ldquo;Anything.&rdquo; Said Princess Angelica.<br /><br />&ldquo;That you do not prioritise it over our regular duties.&rdquo; Princess Angelica nodded. &ldquo;Of course, Percival.&rdquo; They both kissed. &ldquo;When I invited you over, I set out to learn more about you and I believe I have learned plenty this evening.&rdquo; Angelica said. Percival smiled back at her and caressed her soft, beautiful fur. &ldquo;I wonder how long we have both been infatuated with each other.&rdquo; He said. Angelica blushed heavily. &ldquo;Oh!&rdquo; She giggled.<br /><br />&ldquo;Ever since I met you.&rdquo; She said softly. Percival smiled at her answer. &ldquo;My only regret is that we did not do this sooner.&rdquo; He spoke in an almost whisper. &ldquo;We are here now, are we not?&rdquo; She replied. They shared a tender kiss before falling asleep.<br /><br /><br />Angelica woke up to Percival&#039;s arm around her. She moaned softly and smiled, kissing his arm. Percival opened his eyes to Angelica kissing his paw.<br /><br />&ldquo;Mmmm. Good morrow, Princess.&rdquo; He smiled.<br /><br />&ldquo;And to you.&rdquo; She giggled. They both embraced each other for a while before getting dressed. Then there was a knock on the door.<br /><br />&ldquo;My lady?&rdquo; A voice said. &ldquo;May I enter?&rdquo;<br /><br />Percival and Angelica looked at the door then back at each other. Percival nodded.<br /><br />&ldquo;You may.&rdquo; Angelica said.<br /><br />In stepped Princess Angelica&#039;s servant, Elena. She was also a white furred vixen, hence why they were close. Her expression changed from a smile to a surprised one.<br /><br />&ldquo;Sir Percival? Oh, Glorious day!&rdquo; Elena looked overjoyed. &ldquo;I have waited so long for your union!&rdquo; She cleared her throat. &ldquo;Forgive me, my lady. I come bearing news. His Majesty, King Aldus has requested your presence. I believe he has called Sir Percival as well.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Thank you, Elena.&rdquo; Angelica said. Elena bowed and exited the room. &ldquo;My, my. She seemed excited!&rdquo; Angelica said.<br /><br />&ldquo;Hmmm. Indeed. It appears our courtship will have a significant impact on our Kingdom.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes, but I believe it is for the greater good.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes&hellip;&rdquo; He said to himself.<br /><br />They both made their way to the throne room, remaining professional on the way.<br /><br />King Aldus was waiting there for them, spear in hand. It was his walking stick after all. They both approached him and knelt.<br /><br />&ldquo;Your Majesty.&rdquo; Percival said.<br /><br />&ldquo;Father.&rdquo; Angelica said.<br /><br />&ldquo;It has recently been brought to my attention that the two of you are courting.&rdquo; Aldus&rsquo; voice filled the room.<br /><br />&ldquo;You are correct, your majesty.&rdquo; Percival said.<br /><br />&ldquo;Who informed you, Father?&rdquo; Angelica asked.<br /><br />&ldquo;Your noble servant, Elena.&rdquo; Aldus confirmed. &ldquo;She is very open to your courtship, as am I.&rdquo;<br /><br />Angelica looked overjoyed and Percival nodded while smiling.<br /><br />&ldquo;Sir Percival.&rdquo; Aldus said. Percival stood up.<br /><br />&ldquo;It is clear that you are to be the one true love for my daughter. As such, I must abide by the royal customs. You are to be crowned the Prince consort once you wed.&rdquo; Percival knew he must accept this heavy burden. Anything for his Kingdom.<br /><br /></span>",
