Dariush whispered to eira with mix of thrill and excitement: I think I found my knight. (He smirked)
Eira said with a low voice: I know you can see potential. But she only has her left arm, no legs or right arm.
Dariush said: is there a way to heal her fully? If yes, we can do that.
Eira eyes and grin widened with excitement and whispered: I didn't think that way! Absolutely we can do that! And I already have a lot of idea!
Dariush chuckled under his breath and said: very well my dear. Let's go and approach her casually.
Eira take his hand and squeezed it and said with hint of sadness: but dear... She is... A "broken lioness". Are you sure about that?
Dariush fall in deep thoughts: broken lioness? Then that bad, because that's means she has nothing to lose anymore. But... (He glanced at the veteran women) it's… also worth it. (He smiled warmly)
Dariush nodded and said: yeah, I am sure. So do you know her name?
Eira said: yes. Her name is "cobra Vermilion".

After a few moments later dariush and eira approached the 'cobra Vermilion'
Cobra saw dariush and eira approaching, her expression get dead serious for a second, before a cocky grin spreading on her lips: oh look! The great sexy vampire villain is here with his angelic wife. What a great day to see them both here, in front of me.
Dariush smirked slightly. Amused by her cockiness. Eira chuckled softly.
As they both reach cobra, and stand a few feet away from her. The people around didn't stop or gather to watch. Because they didn't dare to do that in presence of dariush and eira. But they do give a glance while walking.
Cobra continued: what brings you here? Seeing a broken lioness?
Dariush chuckled slightly and shake his head at same time. And said humbly: nah, just walking with my wife.
Eira just stood there and watch. Currently she just giggled.
Dariush take a step closer to her. And kneeled: but currently that I am here...(he smiled slightly) I want to ask you something important.
Nor cobra or other people didn't expect this move from dariush. Now some people standing to watch.
Cobra caught off guard thoughts to herself for a moment before answering: he kneeled. He is lowering his state and level... For me?
Cobra answered to dariush with a serious face: ok, ask. I am all ear.
Dariush asked:do you still have hope?
This question stunned her. She knew this a important question so she fall in thoughts.
Everyone waiting for her answer with anticipation and slight excitement or even nervousness.
Cobra after a few moments said:yes... —she opened her mouth to say more, but she clenched her jaw. Her eyes filling with hope, like a little burning coal under ashes.
Dariush nodded Approvalingly with a warm smile. Eira is particularly vibrating with excitement. But she just only show a bright smile. Her hands clasping together in front of her.
Dariush said: very well then. I give you two choices. 1:stay here forever and do as you please. Or 2:let me help you. I will do something about your right arm and legs. Like healing or anything else. Then you can be a lioness again, and my knight.
Everyone gasped at dariush offer. Cobra eyes widened in mix of disbelief and hope. Her jaw dropped.
Cobra stuttered slightly: i-i don't know... I don't know what to say. This feels like a… dream.
People are now look like they are going to explode. A elf man yelled: dream?! This is your only chance! Use it you #$&%!
Another one who was a orc women said: sir dariush is very generous. You should use this chance. Because you are not going to get this great chance again in life.
People started to yelling and shouting to encourage her to say yes.
Dariush turned his head to people with a soft expression and said: calm down guys. —he commanded softly. Making the people fall in silence quickly. And no one looked scared, instead more looking like they are showing respect.
Dariush turned his head to cobra and with a warm smile said: so.... What is your choice, broken lioness?
Cobra glanced at other who nodded encouragingly. Even eira gave him a thumb up with this expression: ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧
Then cobra eyes meet dariush eyes that are burning with passion and determination. Her own eyes is showing new found determination and hope. A first genuine smile spread on her lips and said softly:then... I will choose second option. Please help me. And I will serve you for rest of my life.
People started to cheering up. Eira rushed forward and take her hand with excitement: cobra! It's really nice! I was make sure to make you the most beautiful woman! I already have a lot of idea!
Dariush smile never fade. Instead it's get more genuine. Then he said: dear, let her go, she is kinda uncomfortable.
And indeed she was uncomfortable, she was blushing slightly. And felt akward. Eira let her hand go immediately and said: oh sorry!
Dariush chuckled heartily and said to cobra:well then, I am going to carry you. Don't you have any problem?
Cobra blushed more, avoided eye contact but nodded.
Dariush chuckled slightly. Lifted her while standing. Eira stand up too. People clear the way for them. Cobra at Same time warped her left arm around his neck.
As they walked. Dariush said again, but this time with hint of adoration: you are cute cobra.
Eira nodded enthusiastically and said: I think the same. But you are also sexy too.
Cobra turned her head away, her cheeks, neck and ears blushed red. And mumbled: flattery won't give you two special treatment. —she tried to pout, but it's turned to a heartily smirk. Showing her amusement that she tried to hide.
Both eira and dariush chuckled heartily.

Author note:'cobra' in Farsi (Persian) means great or big. I named her that way, so I can make her what is her name.
