Eve_Palace

She is the Crown Princess. He is her bodyguard.
Falling in love was forbidden, but will they risk everything and pursue their romance?

---------------------------

Lena is the Crown Princess of the Ephemere Kingdom. Confined inside the palace walls for most of her life, the person she would often turn to is her personal protector and dedicated bodyguard, Luca. 

During her childhood years, she treated him as her best friend. Her ally. A protective, older brother who never fails to save her when she needed saving.

But as Lena grew up and blossomed into adulthood, she began developing an attraction for her bodyguard. Gradually, she started noticing him as a man.

Luca secretly loved her too, but knowing his position, he refused to entertain any romantic notions with her. Falling in love with the princess is forbidden. It was her destiny to take the throne when the time is right, and that means, being betrothed to another royalty worthy of her status.

But what if they couldn’t suppress their feelings any longer? What if something happens that would throw them both in a situation where they could pretend that ranks and royalty didn’t exist? Would they pursue their romance? Or would Lena end up upholding her royal duties in the end?

The Princess's Bodyguard

I wanted to hug him right then and there, but I stopped myself by tearing off a piece of pink fluff. I ate it.

It was so sweet! Sickeningly sweet. But somehow, I liked it. A lot. And it instantly dissolved in my tongue like some kind of magic.

I grinned happily. "Here Cece, try it!"

She tossed her head haughtily and frowned.

"No, thank you," she said dryly. "You don't even know what's in there. It could be dangerous. You shouldn't eat it, Lena."

I laughed. "Nonsense. It's fine, Cece. See?" I popped another one into my mouth and smiled.

She threw me a distasteful look and looked away.

Her hostility caught me off guard. Maybe she was just in a bad mood, or she was probably still mad at Luca.

Regardless, nothing… not even Cece, could spoil my happiness at that moment.

I held out the fairy floss to Luca, who was leaning his arm on the window, so we could share.
