Monologue Of Luvon

We knew society wouldn’t accept us. It hadn’t been legalized yet in the country of Luvon; being gay wasn’t illegal either. There were a some who supported gay love and rights but many were very against it. We knew that we would eventually have to tell my father, but we would keep it a secret for a bit longer. I knew he wouldn’t accept Aaron and I’s love for each other because he was always strict, stern, and rarely agreed with anything. He would especially be against us because we were both male elves; we were also prince and guard. Aaron had just confessed his love to me even though he was my personal guard and we were both male elves. When he told me, I blushed lightly. I had loved him for the longest time now and he knew it.

“But my father… he probably won’t allow me to love you,” I responded in a hushed voice. “It’s okay, everything will work out in the end. And if it doesn’t, there is always eloping.” “I can’t do that though. I have my duties as a prince, and you, a knight.

Aaron knocked on the door for me as I stood there nervously. “Come in,” I heard my father’s voice call from the inside of the room. We stepped into the

“I wanted to tell you that I have found someone I would like to marry and stay with for the rest of my life.” “Whom is this person you speak of?” “It’s Aaron, my personal guard, “ I said nervously. “That’s fine. You’ll be together for the rest of your lives anyways. The surrounding countries’ daughter’s are not fit for you either. Aaron would be best suited as your lover. I know I can trust him with you.” I blinked in disbelief. I could tell Aaron was really surprised by the look on his face. I could tell that Aaron was really happy because it radiated from him. I was also really happy since I was so sure that my father would deny it but he didn’t; he was a supporter of gay elves. I couldn’t believe it. “It may take time to have the elves adjust to the future kings being gay, but it should be alright. Tomorrow I will officially publish a law that punishes those who do not treat gay elves equally,” he said. “Thank you, Father,” Aaron and I said in
