"Woah." Angela softly smiled. "You look so nonchalant I thought you didn't have a heart." It was a joke but he didn't as much twitch his lips. She twitched hers. "Anyway, your reason for becoming a bodyguard is quite..." She searched her mind for the right word as she looked down and stared at the chessboard. "Cute?" It came out as a question instead.

"You have a problem." She laughed at his words and he stood up.

"Should you be saying that to your master, though?" She stood up as well, looking at him with a grin and tease in her eyes.

Zayden chuckled, he walked and stopped before her, tilting his head as he looked on. "Oh princess, I shall speak however I want with you." The words slipped his lips and he blinked. He stared at her widened eyes and the red that tinted her cheeks. He loved the sight. The thought came out before he could even think about it.
