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

Women don't wear pants. I am well aware of that fact.

But since there weren't any female clothes lying around, I thought she'd be fine with wearing male clothes for the moment. Turned out, she wasn't.

The tunic Lena wore was long enough to cover her knees, and she had tied the rope around her waist so the oversized tunic wouldn't billow around her, giving the appearance of a dress.

It was still somewhat decent, but seeing her flaunt her flawless, dainty lower legs and bare feet since she had resorted to walking inside the cabin barefoot, just felt wrong. Like it was something I wasn't supposed to see.

Lena looked at me and pulled her dress-tunic lower down her legs. "Oh, hi, Luca. I ditched the trousers because they were bulky and kept dragging on the floor," she responded innocently. "Anyway, this is just like a dress, right? It's easier to move too."
