He was assigned to protect her, not fall for her.
But when the princess begins to slip past his carefully built walls, their stolen glances and quiet moments turn into something far more dangerous.
Because in a world ruled by duty and crown, loving her could cost him everything.
╰┈➤ Princess X, her bodyguard
"𝐒𝐡𝐡𝐡, 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬."
She carries a blame that was never hers to bear. Accused, judged, and quietly abandoned, she learned to wear strength like armour, firm voice, steady gaze, unshaken steps.
But beneath that hardened exterior lives a soul that once longed for something simple: love without fear, peace without apology.
Time taught her silence. She stopped fighting what the world decided she was. She built a life that appeared ordinary from the outside: calm, distant, and controlled. Inside, she survived day by day, holding together the fragile pieces no one ever saw break.
Then he enters her life, not as a saviour, but as a storm. He comes carrying anger sharpened into revenge, determined to shatter what he believes is already cracked.
He does not see the truth: she is standing on her final thread of strength.
╰┈➤Emerald X Her hubby.
"Shhhh, Emerald."
