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

What was once a peaceful, nonchalant village was now turned upside down.

People were in a panic, scrambling to get out of the soldiers' way as the call to arms directive was repeatedly being called out. The soldiers tried to restore order and make the frantic villagers calm down, to little avail.

Elliot ushered me inside the inn, and we were prodded to the corner because it was quickly filling with people trying to escape the streets. Like a battering ram, Elliot towed me behind him as he pushed through the heaving bodies, up the stairs, and to the room he shared with Louis.

"Elliot! You have to get Luca!" I pleaded as he bolted the door behind us.

"The captain and Louis will be fine, Lady Lena," he said, attempting a reassuring tone. "I won't leave you. We're safe here for the moment. They'll find a way back to us."
