What if that prince defended you against the court for your low social standing and made up a title so that you would be on the same rank and those who would mock you so now they HAVE to give you respect and honors? Damn, what if

What if that prince kissed you so tender and sweet and broke your heart because you knew he was betrothed to another and he offered to run off with you and cast off the only world he's ever known. All the pleasure and joy it brings to be lowly with you? To suffer poverty and illness and famine
What if you ran away together to the mountain village you grew up in? Where it took him twice as long to catch his breath and the soft skin of his hands broke and became rough. You used the sporting events of his youth to hunt for dinner in the harsh winters.
What if you took over your parents small business and took care of them as they grew older? Only having just enough to get by? If you called him "you Highness" and he called you "his knight?" And the town thought it was just sweet pet names.
What if you taught him everything you knew about not just surviving but living. What if you held his hands in yours as you guided them as they worked your father's carpentry tools? taught him crafts with the same kindness as when he taught you how to dance
