tags: knight!franz x prince/ss!reader, doomed romance, franz breaking up with reader for their own good, angst
perhaps you two should've known from the start that your love had no future. everyone was against you two dating, a knight and a prince/ss. the classic forbidden love…
and yet, you two really tried your hardest to make it work! you would've even given up your claim to the throne, just to be with franz! that's how much you loved him…
however, your love for each other was eventually what tore you apart. because franz loved you more than he loved himself and decided to put your happiness above his own!
your father, the king, had told him about your plans to reject your noble status and live a simple life with franz, just so the two of you could be together.
franz should've felt happy about those news, but all he felt was guilt. if it wasn't for him, you could one day become king or queen of this country. but you wanted to give up all of that just for him…
he worried that you'd one day regret your decision to discard your royal status. and that you'd grow to resent him for it. so wouldn't it be better to end things before it ever got that far…?
it's a quiet knight where franz asks you to sneak out of the castle to meet him for a talk. and you're unaware that it's going to be your last night together…
“i am here to tell you that i can't meet you anymore.” those are the words franz tells you. no explanation as to why he breaks up with you. no nothing.
you know something is wrong, asking him to explain himself, crying and begging even! but it doesn't do anything…
even as it breaks his heart, franz decides to stay quiet. you may resent him for it now, but he truly hopes that someday you find happiness in a future without him…
