Chapter Text
I hope that I am pleasing to you, my dearest. I hope that one day, you will sit by me and bare your heart and soul to me. I hope that you will accept me as your destiny, just as I have accepted you.
...it doesn't have to be today, or tomorrow. But, maybe someday, you will feel comfortable enough. And here I will be, waiting for you to meet me at the end of our long and winding road together.
Can you not see it, my love? It's written in the very fabric of our world. As a servant of prophecy, I see the path laid out for us, shining gold with promise of a happily ever after. Its brilliance blinds me, and I sometimes wonder just how it is that you cannot see such a thing.
...perhaps it doesn't matter, though. There's a greater force at play here, far more powerful than you or I. I see how its playful hand guides you, influences your decisions, pushes you gently towards your wonderful future with me.
...and yes, I can see that you... aren't quite there yet. But patience, my dear - for ours is a long and arduous journey, and you may yet come to see the happiness that is waiting for you at its terminus. All you have to do is ask, and I shall gladly take you by the hand and guide you along your way. Nothing shall give me greater pleasure, I assure you!
...and yes, you... you are free to choose, ultimately. But you may find, as I have, that destiny isn't so easily thwarted. I urge you to consider that, if nothing else, it would be... easier for you to accept things as they are. But… if you do decide to resent me for this, to curse my name and shun me… then I will accept this too. Above all things, I am your servant. It is not the future I wish for you, but I will respect your decision... as futile as it might be.
Whatever happens, know this: I will do my utmost to make you happy, to do right by you, to make you feel wanted and loved. It's... what I was made for, after all. So please, please, don't despair, my precious one.
This is all for the best. I'm certain you'll realise that, one day.
