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

When the princess's handmaid reached out to me for the second time today, my delight was accompanied by a sinking feeling in my heart. I already had a suspicion of the princess's intent. I knew she wouldn't sit around and do nothing when the captain was held captive.

Aside from feeling relieved that they had survived, I wasn't surprised when I saw her and the captain acting intimately. I had assumed that if they had both lived, they'd finally act out their feelings.

Of all the Princess's Guard, I was around the two of them the most. When the captain conducted the princess's combat training a long time ago, I was selected to assist in the training. It was during that time that I got to observe the relationship between the princess and the captain.
