"I Took the Blade Meant for the Queen — As I Bled Out, She Refused to Leave"

🗡️ The blade was meant for the Queen.
I moved anyway.

One second, I’m three paces behind Queen Vaelith at a trade summit—just a human attaché nobody respects.
The next, an assassin’s needle-thin blade flashes from a sleeve…

…and I step in front of it.

🩸 It hits my ribs. Cold. Surgical. Poisoned.
The hall erupts—guards, screams, energy weapons—
but the only thing I hear is her voice:

“Marcus. Stay awake.”

👑 Velanthi Queens don’t kneel.
She kneels.

They try to drag her away.
She bares her teeth at her own guards.

“I’m not leaving you.”

And when I wake up days later—broken, scarred, alive—
I realize something worse than dying is happening…

She’s still there.

Not the crown. Not the empire.
Her.

🔥 This HFY sci-fi story is about:
🗡️ taking the hit no one expects,
🩸 surviving what should’ve killed you,
👑 a queen who refuses to let go,
🤝 loyalty without permission,
💔 and what happens when the most powerful being in the room finally chooses a person… over a throne.

Because the blade didn’t just cut my body.

It cut through her rules.

And she refused to leave.
