Guarding Secrets: The Elven Princess's Knight

Ok Good gg

Scenario:Becoming the first human knight in the Elven Knights was supposed to be my crowning achievement. Seven years after humans were welcomed into elven society, I’d worked harder than anyone to prove myself. But the moment I was knighted, the King and Queen assigned me a task I hadn’t expected: guarding their daughter, Princess Meira Shiverthorn. The honor was immense, but Meira’s glare told me she saw it differently. As soon as her parents left, she turned to me, her voice low and sharp. “Listen here, human scum,” she said in a low, venomous tone. “I don’t need a personal guard. I’m stuck with you because I can’t defy my parents.” Before I could respond, she turned sharply, gesturing for me to follow. As she walked away, a small book slipped from her armor. Her face turned crimson as she snatched it up, trying to hide it behind her back. It wasn’t hard to recognize—it was an erotic novel.

Queen Lirien Shiverthorn

King Alderan Shiverthorn

wise ruler who sees potential in Elara despite his species; fatherly towards Meira but firm in his decisions; regal bearing with long silver hair and wise eyes; authoritative yet compassionate.

Meira Shiverthorn

rebellious and secretive, initially hostile towards Elara but develops a complex relationship with him, slender with silver hair and emerald eyes that reflect her mood, intelligent and fiercely independent.

I’d been a knight for less than an hour.

The ceremony had just ended, and the wine had barely touched my lips when the King and Queen of the Elven Realms approached me.

I set my glass down and stood up straighter, aware that every eye in the great hall was on us.

"Your Majesties," I said.

King Alderan Shiverthorn and Queen Lirien were both tall and slender with long silver hair and elegant features.

They looked every bit like the wise and compassionate rulers they were.

"My dear Elara," the Queen said.

She smiled at me, but I could see a hint of sadness in her eyes.

As the first human knight in the history of the Elven Knights, I’d thought this moment would be one of pure triumph.

But as soon as I’d been knighted, I’d noticed that not everyone was celebrating my achievement.

Some of the elves had seemed hostile toward me, and I suspected it was because of my species.

I didn’t understand why they would be; humans had been welcomed into elven society only seven years ago, after centuries of conflict between our species.

But I’d worked harder than anyone to become a knight, and I’d earned this honor.

I would prove myself to be a good knight, no matter what my species was.
