Summary
Stede has always been Ed’s.
Well, technically, there was the brief pointless time before he’d met her. But as much as Stede cared to remember, as much as he found worth considering, as long as Stede had been anyone, he’d been Ed’s.
Certainly not romantically.
With her the crown princess, and he a simple knight, certainly not.
But still.
He was hers. -
