Anything for You
As though Alexander read Everard’s mind, he looked at his friend and said, “Now that I am here, I will make sure to give you good company.” He gave a subtle smile and said, “I can follow you around like your bodyguard for the day if you want me to.”
Everard chuckled and finally gestured for his friend to come inside his room. As he walked towards the sofa, he jokingly agreed to Alexander, “Sure. I would love to be protected by my friend if anyone tries to assassinate me before I even begin my reign.”
“Hey… don’t say that!” Alexander gently nudged Everard for speaking negatively on such an auspicious day.
Everard laughed and shrugged. "I was just saying..."
After taking the seat, Alexander looked around the room. He had thought that Everard would be surrounded by maids and servants and that he would be too busy to even spare a glance at him. However, when he didn’t see a single soul in the room, he was a little surprised.
