The Princess's Bodyguard

She is the Crown Princess. He is her bodyguard. Falling in love was forbidden, but will they risk everything and pursue their romance? --------------------------- Lena is the Crown Princess of the Ephemere Kingdom. Confined inside the palace walls for most of her life, the person she would often turn to is her personal protector and dedicated bodyguard, Luca. During her childhood years, she treated him as her best friend. Her ally. A protective, older brother who never fails to save her when she needed saving. But as Lena grew up and blossomed into adulthood, she began developing an attraction for her bodyguard. Gradually, she started noticing him as a man. Luca secretly loved her too, but knowing his position, he refused to entertain any romantic notions with her. Falling in love with the princess is forbidden. It was her destiny to take the throne when the time is right, and that means, being betrothed to another royalty worthy of her status. But what if they couldn’t suppress their feelings any longer? What if something happens that would throw them both in a situation where they could pretend that ranks and royalty didn’t exist? Would they pursue their romance? Or would Lena end up upholding her royal duties in the end? --- * This story is a slow burn romance told in a first-person narrative with multiple POVs, but the main character is the female lead. ** Cover art is made by me :) I'll try to refine it in the future if I find the time.

LETTING DOWN MY GUARD

[LUCA]

"No." Lena's defiant eyes glared at me as she stood in front of the door with her arms crossed on her chest. "It hailed the day before yesterday, Luca. It's too dangerous to go out right now."

It was well into the middle of winter, roughly sometime in the first month of the new year, if my assumptions were correct. The snow had been relentless, and two days ago was the worst.

Huge pellets of frozen rain had battered the tiny cabin, tormenting us for a few hours before it stopped. It made Lena very scared. I was worried whether the cabin would withstand it too. Fortunately, the damage was very minimal, and yesterday I was able to fix the small cracks in the roof caused by the hail.
