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

"Who lives there?" I asked, pointing at a huge manor that we passed by. It stood out from the simple houses around it. Like it belonged to someone of noble stature.

"That's the lord's manor," Louis answered. He had been acting like our tour guide since we left the inn a while ago.

"So I presume he'd been sent out to help in the war?" I asked. It was a noble's duty to lend their assistance to the throne in a state of emergency.

Louis shook his head. "No, he's just there. But they say he's ancient and never got involved in politics. He never answered the summons of his sovereign, until such time came that they gave up involving this village in the kingdom's affairs."

"How do you know all this?" I wondered. When they went out investigating earlier, I didn't expect Louis to get that much information.
