Author's Notes: I'm trying to get inside Solomon's head so I can write more Blood+ fics...
After spending over 80 years as Diva's chevalier, Solomon Goldsmith never expected to find love, let alone fall in love with the other Queen. In his defense, he didn't know she was the other Queen when he first met her and he'd probably say it was love at first sight. During a ball, he asked the mysterious beautiful girl that looked like Diva, only different, to dance. She accepted and twirled around the dance floor with him with the grace and dignity of a queen.
It didn't take Solomon long to realize she was the other queen herself, Saya. She was inhuman. Beautiful and perfect. She took his breath away from the moment he set eyes on her. The way she moved was like magic – fluid and natural.
But he was supposed to hate her. She was a threat to his queen, the only queen he was supposed to be loyal to. Diva had been his life for 80 years, even when she slept she was who Solomon thought about, breathed for.
As time continued to pass, Diva and Saya's rivalry only grew and created conflict for the chevalier. His feelings for Saya – his love for Saya – could not be ignored. He had an undeniable urge to protect the other queen. He was drawn to her, forced to overcome his blood – Diva's blood really – to be with her.
But she rejected him.
Saya could only see him as an enemy, as Diva's dangerous and loyal chevalier. When he took Saya to his place, she was rescued by her only living chevalier, Haji. The man was dangerous. Saya truly loved Haji as more than a chevalier, but as a man, much like Solomon loved Saya.
"Before everything," Solomon had informed Saya gently, "I am a man who loves you."
But she didn't believe him.
His confession which was a betrayal to his brothers, to his queen, to his life, fell on deaf ears. Haji took her away again, stealing her away from Solomon.
Sitting in his place, Solomon closed his eyes, resting his face in his hands. "Damn."
He didn't know what to do. He couldn't live without Saya. He loved Saya more than anything and as a man, not a chevalier. The difference in love was startling. It consumed him, completed him in a way he had never experienced before.
I have to prove my loyalty. The thought crossed Solomon's mind in an instant, revitalizing him. Standing up slowly, he walked to the door, not wanting to waste a minute. He had to go see Diva before his realization disappeared.
The only way to protect Saya, to prove his love for her, to convince her of his loyalty as her newest chevalier by choice, was to kill Diva. Diva was a threat to Saya just as Saya was a threat to Diva. While both queens lived, neither was safe.
Moving through the daylight with ease and grace, he went to Diva's. He knew she'd be there. Something told him she would, and something told him he had to do this. He had go to this extreme to win Saya over, to take her affection from Haji and hold it as his own.
"I love you, Saya, and I'm going to prove it to you," Solomon vowed to the day with no one, including Saya, within hearing distance.

Thank you for proving me wrong. ;)
