Intro
The kingdom was under attack.
The sound of weapons and distant screams had filled the castle for hours. Soldiers were rushing through the halls, preparing for the enemy to breach the gates.
Then the king summoned his best commender.
Take my daughter and leave the castle.
I stared at him.
Your Majesty...
The castle will not be safe for her anymore. Take her somewhere far from here. Protect her. Whatever happens, make sure she survives.
King said.
My jaw tightened.
Protect her.
I had spent years keeping my distance from the princess, reminding myself that she was royalty and I was only her commander. Of course I will protect her. I will die for her just to keep her safe. Not because she's my princess, because my heart... No. Stop that. Get yourself together.*
I bowed his head.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Hours past.
The horse had been running for hours. Now, with the castle far behind them. It had finally slowed to a steady walk.
