I was lost. I was hopeless. I was struggling. Maybe that's why you summoned me. Maybe it was due to my miraculous birth. Or maybe it was just luck or good fortune. For whatever reason, I was lucky enough to find myself summoned by both you and King Peter. I remember it like it was yesterday...he called me forward and said to me,

"𝖄𝖔𝖚 𝖍𝖆𝖛𝖊 𝖇𝖊𝖊𝖓 𝖙𝖍𝖗𝖔𝖚𝖌𝖍 𝖙𝖔𝖚𝖌𝖍 𝖙𝖎𝖒𝖊𝖘. 𝕭𝖚𝖙 𝖘𝖔𝖒𝖊𝖙𝖎𝖒𝖊𝖘, 𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖘𝖊 𝖙𝖔𝖚𝖌𝖍 𝖙𝖎𝖒𝖊𝖘 𝖒𝖆𝖐𝖊 𝖚𝖘 𝖗𝖊𝖆𝖉𝖞 𝖋𝖔𝖗 𝖘𝖔𝖒𝖊𝖙𝖍𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝖈𝖔𝖒𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝖋𝖔𝖗 𝖚𝖘. 𝕴 𝖘𝖊𝖓𝖉 𝖞𝖔𝖚 𝖆𝖑𝖑 𝖒𝖞 𝖘𝖙𝖗𝖊𝖓𝖌𝖙𝖍."

He withdrew a sword and approached my kneeling being, and began to knight me.

"𝕴 𝖐𝖓𝖎𝖌𝖍𝖙 𝖞𝖔𝖚...𝕶𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝕯𝖆𝖛𝖎𝖉 𝖔𝖋 𝕹𝖆𝖗𝖓𝖎𝖆."

That was when you withdrew a crown, almost as beautiful as you, and placed it on my head. As you did so, your hands slid down to graze my face, and gently lifted up my chin, and the beauty I saw changed my life forever. And in the sweetest voice, you looked right into my eyes, smiled that radiant smile, and said,

"𝑰 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒄𝒍𝒂𝒊𝒎 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝑲𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑫𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒅...𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒊𝒂𝒍."

I've loved you ever since you named me.
