He smiled at both of them gratefully relieved that there had been no difficulty and moved back to his queen shaking slightly from nerves.  he knew already what her answer would be but still this would be an official engagement and he wanted it to be right more than anything he moved back to her taking her hands in his and pulling her to where she was turned facing him and smiled down at her before beginning to shift down on one knee. He looked up into her face with a slight smile one hand moving to the indie lining of the Jacket he had kept with him at all times and ripping it slightly to pull out a ring he had concealed there to keep it out of his fathers greedy hands. Around them the crowd began to fall silent another shocked look coming over their faces "Josephine," He said softly his hand grasping hers, "There is much at this moment I wish to say, the first of which being that I know that I don't deserve you.  Who could ever have done enough to deserve, not only a maid so beautiful as the softest of white rose petals, but one with the strength of a lion, the courage of an army, the voice of an angel, and the sweetness of my favorite homemade pie that you made so well for me..." he looked down gathering himself a little and swallowed before continuing.  "You are smart, gentle, kind.  You re the most amazing woman I have ever met both inside and out... I have nothing to offer you but my love and unending devotion but I hope that you will take these things as a token of my favor for you...I promise you that, if you will have me I will spend my days worshiping you, I will never gaze upon another with lust in my heart, I will never waver from your side.  I will spend the rest of my life making your every whim a reality... I want to spend all of time with you, not just this life but the next and the next until the end of time, Princess." He smiled a little and corrected himself, "Queen Josephine, will you do me the greatest honor of all and marry me?"
