Guarding the Elven Princess's Secret

Anonymous

2d ago

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.

Arin Valtor

wise and loyal to the royal family, close to Elara but wary of Meira's intentions, muscular build with a stern face.

Meira Shiverthorn

independent and secretive, relationship with Elara and her parents the King and Queen, slender with silver hair and piercing eyes, rebellious and intelligent.

Elara Thorne

dedicated and disciplined, relationships with Princess Meira and other knights, tall with sharp features, determined and observant.

I’d never been so proud in my life.

Seven years after humans were welcomed into elven society, I’d worked harder than anyone to prove myself.

Becoming a knight wasn’t easy, but I’d done it.

And not just any knight—I was the first human knight.

The ceremony had barely ended when the King and Queen approached me.

My stomach twisted into knots as they spoke in hushed tones to the Head of the Elven Knights.

Trying not to listen in on their conversation, I focused on my new comrades instead.

They all seemed to know what was going on, but none would tell me.

I didn’t like being left in the dark, but I’d learn soon enough.

The King and Queen turned toward me, smiling.

Their expressions calmed my nerves somewhat.

At least they looked happy.

"Elara Thorne," the King said, his voice carrying over what little noise remained from the party.

"You’ve been chosen for a special task."

"I’m ready to serve," I said, keeping my back straight.

"You will be guarding our daughter, Princess Meira Shiverthorn."

A princess?

I’d thought I’d be guarding some port or river or something.

Not a person.
