Though only one person had ever said the question out loud, I won't pretend to not notice it in the eyes of the people around me. They ask,
What are you to him?
What is he to you?
What feelings do you have for him?
What kind of love do you hold for him?
It's basically the same questions, with a simple answer, really. But then again, it took me a long time to find that answer too. Somehow, I feel that this question and its answer isn't of much significance, at least it shouldn't be to others anyway. Oh well, he is him, so everything concerning is of significance, I guess. Hmm.
Well, I'd tell you the answer, but many people don't understand, though it's simpler than many things...
It is undeniable that he is more than just my lord. Everyone acknowledges that. But I have also fought with him, not just for him, and so he is also my comrade. He is my friend, my adviser, my teacher, my partner. He is nearly everything.
But then you insist that this is not an answer. This is not the answer you want. You already know I love him. You wish to know,
What kind love do I have for him?
Sigh. You still don't understand? It is not a kind of love that can even be defined. No, not a knight's love. Not a comrade's, nor a friend's, nor as a partner nor lover.
What I have is love in its simplest form.
