The Knight's Oath: The Strongman's Love in the Submissive's Honor

The sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the grand castle of Elysium. In the heart of the great hall, Sir Cedric, a knight of great repute, stood before the king, his armor gleaming in the dim light. His eyes were filled with resolve as he took the Knight's Oath, promising to serve and protect the kingdom with honor and valor.

In the shadows of the hall, a figure watched, his eyes reflecting the flickering torchlight. He was a strongman, known for his brute strength and silent demeanor, a man who had sworn to serve the king as fiercely as the knights. His name was Thalor, and he had a secret that could shatter the very foundation of Elysium.

Thalor had loved since he was a child, but his love was forbidden. It was a love for a man, a man who was a knight, a man who was Sir Cedric. The strongman's heart had whispered to him, "Serve the king with honor, but love with all your might."

Years passed, and Thalor's love for Cedric only grew stronger. He watched as the knight fought bravely in battle, earning the respect and admiration of all. Cedric, too, had grown to respect Thalor, seeing in him a strength and loyalty that matched his own.

But as the kingdom faced a great threat, Cedric was called to serve in a far-off land. Thalor, unable to bear the thought of losing him, made a decision that would change their lives forever. He would follow Cedric into the unknown, even if it meant breaking his own heart.

The two men set off on their journey, bound by an oath of love and honor. They faced many dangers, but their bond only grew stronger. Cedric, who had never before allowed his emotions to show, found himself drawn to Thalor's silent strength and unwavering loyalty.

As they neared their destination, they discovered that the threat to the kingdom was far greater than they had imagined. A traitor within the ranks had been feeding information to their enemies, and it was up to Cedric and Thalor to stop the betrayal before it was too late.

In the heat of battle, Cedric was gravely injured, and it was Thalor who rushed to his side. With a fierce look in his eyes, he vowed to protect Cedric at all costs. "I will fight until the end for you, my love," he whispered.

Cedric's eyes flickered open, and he saw the strength in Thalor's gaze. "Then let us fight together," he said, his voice weak but determined.

As they fought side by side, their love for each other became the driving force behind their courage. They defeated the traitor and saved the kingdom, but the cost was high. Cedric's injuries were severe, and he was unable to return to his life as a knight.

Thalor, knowing that he could not bear to lose Cedric, made a deal with the gods. He offered his own life in exchange for Cedric's healing. The gods were moved by their love, and Thalor's sacrifice was accepted.

In the final moments, as Cedric lay in his bed, his eyes met Thalor's. "You have given me everything," he said, tears in his eyes. "I can never repay you."

Thalor smiled, his heart breaking. "All I have ever wanted was to be by your side, to love you freely. I would give my life a thousand times over if it meant we could be together."

The next morning, Cedric awoke to find Thalor gone. He searched the castle, but there was no sign of him. He knew that Thalor had left him a note, but it was gone. Cedric found himself in a room filled with memories, and in the center of the room, he found the note.

My love, you are the knight of my heart, and I am the strongman of your dreams. I have given you my honor, my life, and my love. Always remember that, and live the life we could not share. Your Thalor

Cedric read the note, his heart breaking and swelling with love. He knew that Thalor's love had been the greatest gift he could have received. He would honor his love by living a life that would make Thalor proud.

The kingdom of Elysium would never know the strength and loyalty of the man who had given his life for love. But Cedric would carry that love in his heart forever, a testament to the power of love and the strength of the heart.

And so, the tale of Sir Cedric and Thalor became a legend, a story of love that defied all odds, a story of honor that transcended the boundaries of knight and strongman. Their love would be remembered, a beacon of hope in a world where love was often forbidden.
