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 was afraid Luca would argue and insist on pushing on. I'm glad he didn't.

I changed the subject so he wouldn't have time to think more about what I'd said. "Anyway, about clothes, are there more?" I asked.

Luca ran a hand through his hair. "Yeah. They're too big for you, though. But that's okay; I'll figure something out," he answered. "Would you like me to take you to the waterfall?"

"Yes, a bath would be nice," I agreed.

The waterfall was about a five-minute walk from the cabin. It astonished me to see the beaten path leading straight to it. The cabin's previous owner must have built the cabin with the waterfall's location as the basis.

Because of the torrential rain last night, the lake's water level seemed higher than before, the current moving swiftly towards the connecting stream. I was happy to see that the flowers in the meadow hadn't been washed away.

NOT SURE IF I STILL WANTED IT
