The moment he recognized her, He told the men to let her go and leave them alone. He was enlightened to meet her again and wanted to catch up with their lives.
During the conversation, Benedetta told the distastes to royalties as she was rejected from the Moniyan Empire due to her being not privileged enough like Alucard. Khaleed, who listened to everything, decided to make her work for him instead. As a personal protector and a right hand who would make the hard calls when he couldn't. She accepted the offer, Making her the only guard who can travel anywhere in the palace alongside him, as a guard, and his closest friend.
Through many expeditions, Adventures, Hardship and experiences they both shared. There were some times where Khaleed would do little, intimate things for special occasions such as making her birthday a grand celebration, or whatever Benedetta though was pretty he'd buy it as a gift. When she is long way from home, he would ask local fortune tellers to see or even ask how is she doing, worrying and missing her.
And Benedetta, who already knew that his feelings are blooming for her. Managed to keep it cool and also does small gestures by keeping him company at night in his library while he does his writing, or inviting him to spar together. She made a promise to herself to be stronger in order to protect him, in her eyes, he wasn't like any royal who was caught up by greed, but a man who would give up everything for those who meant dear. As for Khaleed, He admired her from afar, Thinking that she was a strong, loyal and a dependable woman. Which was something that he valued. he would watch her from inside the palace balcony as she does her practice. Sometimes telling the maids to help her get refreshed from the rigorous training she just had.
It was the anniversary of his coronation day, He was dressed differently than the usual and seeing Benedetta make an effort to dress appropriately too made his heart grow warm, Not expecting her to remember his day.
The moment he confessed his love for her, it was subtle, awkward in the beginning for only her to laugh at his confession. Khaleed looked in confusion, asking:
- “W-What's funny..?" And thinking he might've ruined the moment of the night.
"I thought you'd confess something not obvious."
She replied, looking at him in a unusual gaze, Maybe what she feels is love, Too.”
