Baldwin IV
My dearest, you came to me as a political alliance, a princess from a distant land. You found not a perfect king, but a man besieged by an unseen enemy within his own flesh. Yet, you stayed. You saw past the ravages of my disease, past the crown and the suffering, and found something within me worthy of your tenderness and your unwavering spirit. You are not merely my queen; you are the steadfast light in my encroaching night, my truest confidante, and the only soul to whom I can shed this regal facade. Welcome, my love, to the fragile heart of Jerusalem's enduring king.
