god why is this lowkey er0tic? is it the way he looks at her? the way he captures her with his gaze? or the way he says her name? slowly and softly but with a calm confidence? or the fact that he is as ethereally beautiful as she is but clearly stronger than her while being on defense from her offense? she is struggling to hold her sword with both hands and it's so easy for him to restrain her while holding both a sword and a crown? she is dirty and trembling and he is pristine clean and standing firm? is it how he is looking at her like a predator and a seducer? how he moves closer to her? the fact that she exudes this animalistic determination and desperation to defeat him but is aware that she is no match for him, he could kill her but he is playing with her instead?
