One Step

Caspian held out his hand and gently held Anastasia’s palm. While lovingly stroking her knuckles with his thumb, he said to her, “Anna, I had always thought that I alone could protect you from any harm befalling you. That’s why I never really gave a thought to assigning some personal guards to you. But…”

He met her curious gaze and clarified his intention, “But I think having personal guards is for the best. I have asked two of my personal guards to swear loyalty to you. What do you think?”

Though she had already asked Caspian not to blame himself for the unfortunate event that happened in his absence, Anastasia could see a hint of guilt lingering around on his face.

Thus, for the sake of Caspian’s mental peace, she agreed. “Sure. I think it is a wonderful idea.”

“Oh, yes. I am glad you also feel that way,” Caspian smiled and lifted Anastasia’s hand to plant a kiss on her knuckles.
