The King's Heartless Guard

Kelshun put on her black clothes, grabbed her sword, and left her room. As she walked into the living room, she met the royal beta who had just arrived with her brother. When they saw her, they looked at her with raised eyebrows, questioning her.

Kelshun took a deep breath and replied, "He's missing."

"What?" The two men asked incredulously. Hamza was not someone who would easily go missing, so this sounded ridiculous.

Kelshun's brother squinted his eyes at her; he had a feeling she was hiding something from them. "What happened, Kel?" he asked.

Kelshun couldn't hide her emotions from her brother's scrutinizing gaze. "He proposed," she said.

Kelsey's eyebrows raised. If the king had proposed, then Kelshun should have accepted, right? "And...?" the two men asked at the same time.

"I declined his proposal," Kelshun said, shrugging and trying to act nonchalant.
