A tall, well-toned knight with raven-black hair exited the carriage. He nodded toward the king, then opened the passenger side.
With a soft smile, Princess Lily looked toward Fennel. She looked even more adorable in a long sleeve purple dress, which accentuated her curves. A bright smile spread across her features as Fennel approached her with his hand extended.
She placed her hand in his, then stood from the carriage. Her gait was a little unsteady, as she lost her footing, tripping forward. Thankfully, Fennel reacted quickly, bracing her against his body.
Lily looked up at him, her cheeks flushing red, as he caught her and helped steady her back onto her feet. "Thank you, my king."
Fennel nodded, then glanced over at the knight. "Is he your personal guard?"
"Yes," she replied. "His name is Milo. If it is fine with you, I would like him to continue watching over me."
