The prince and bodyguard

Prologue

"Your Highness,she’s here."

"Bring her in."

"Yes,Your Highness."

Luke left prince Keith office and goes to the enter of the castle to find the women they are talking about. She was standing outside,looking almost boring,leaning on the wall. Her long black hair in a high ponytail,her write shirt and black jeans pointing out her figure perfectly,while her long slender fingers taped on the end of her daggers. When Luke came to her,she let a yawn.

"How long should I wait,this is annoying."

"His Highness will see you now,but before that I must ask you to leave your weapons here."

"And how I suppose to protect someone without my weapons?"

"You are going to see His Highness,show some respect."

"All right,all right you are too loud." she said before pulling out her guns and handed them to the guard nearby.

"And your daggers." added Luke

"Tsk,you’r annoying" she added before handed her daggers too.

"Follow me."

They walked through Liberty manse in silence. She was just walking with out looking around which Luke found very odd from someone who come first time in palace. People would always be fascinated by the beauty of palace,gasping,looking around and asking questions and there she was walking like she was already seen entire place a thousand times. Luke failed to stay quiet and asked:

"You don’t seem interested in palace?"

"…don’t care…"

"Excuse me?!"

"I already memorized blueprints of this place,I don’t care about vases and pictures."

Luke eyes widened as he thought  “Is it possible that she memorized all palace? Everyone need at least year to accustom to this place. She must be joking or boasting her skill. Let’s test it!”

"Is that so?" said Luke sarcastically , "So you don’t need my guide to find Prince Keith office,hmm?"

"No,it’s in the second hall on the left, fifth door on the right."

"Wha-?! How do you know that?!"

"Are you deaf or just stupid? I already told you I memorized whole place."

Luke stay stunned by her brains and incredible rudeness. They arrived in front the office door,and Luke knocked  few times before entering.

"Excuse me Your Highness,your new bodyguard is here."

Yay, a new thread~ And welcome to the forum! I do hope you'll say more than words of fan fiction some time, since you have been here for a relative while apparently~

Regarding this prologue, I am having a difficult time determining which characters are speaking. Reading quotes is not always so easy, if you have to count out every other line to get a clearer idea of the flow. It is a common issue with writers that can easily be solved by including either a little more exposition before the dialogue, or the 'John Doe said' type of line a little more often. Not after every quote, though.

I like it so far! Can't wait for more. :) I really like the way you portray Luke its,perfect haha

Well,here is a part 2,hope you like it:


For what happen next no one couldn’t prepare Keith. The women that walked in his office stopped his breathing. His heartbeat accelerate in second. Waking up from shock,he cleared his throat: “Who are you?”

"Emily Blake,at your service." she said bowing slightly. Than she looked at prince Keith with spark of interest. I heard he is arrogant,but he is as handsome as they say. Wait,what am I thinking? Focus girl!Emily thought  for herself.

Choosing to ignore the look in her eyes,prince Keith lean back in his chair and continued: “I’ve heard I got a new bodyguard,but no one mention it would be a women.”

There we go. Emily thought. “I assure Your Highness that I can do my job as well as any man,even better.”she said slightly annoyed.

"I believe you can,even I know who your father is." Added Keith,his lips curving into small smile,as her eyes widen on him. She take a deep breath and look directly at him:

"My parents have nothing to do with this,especially THAT man."

Sensing anger in her voice Keith added coldly : “But isn’t he the reason you are here today?”

"NO! Everything I become so far it was because of me only,not because who my parents are. And if that’s the reason why I’m here today you can start looking for a new bodyguard!" enabled to control her anger Emily snapped louder than she thought  and started walking toward the door.

Surprised at first, Keith could feel anger started boiling in him This commoner,how dare she?! Standing up abruptly he shouted back:

"Who told you you can leave?! I’m not finished talking to you yet,how rude can you be commoner?!" growled Keith "You just proving that you are daddy’s daughter who knows no manners and gets to work this just because her parents."

*snap*

Keith could swear he heard snapping.
She turned back to him with a scary smile on her lips.
"How dare I? How dare I?!  You have not the slightest idea how much I?m holding up not to show you what an arrogant jerk you are! You think you can protect you country when you can’t even protect yourself. If I wanted I could kill you long time ago and leisurely walk away. So before you start to question my abilities,question your action first!" She jelled at him, taking a deep breaths to calm herself,as Keith watched her dumbfounded still trying to process everything she said to him.
Emily broke silence:
"First thing don’t look at me like a puppy at the rain, I’m not sorry, and second eavesdropping is not nice." She muttered opening the door to revel the form of a little girl at the other side.

"Sorry brother…" she whispers.

Upon seeing her,Keith gaze softens and he slowly mumbles:

"Cathy,go back to your room."

"So if you excuse me, Your Highness." Emily said as she slowly making her way thought the door.

Clenching his fist,Keith mind raced with her words from before. No one talked to him like that,yet she…
"Tomorrow. Be here at 8h."

 ———————————————————————————————————————-

"Master Luke,miss Blake is here."  stuttered one of maids.

"I’ll take care of that." Answered Luke and started walking toward the castle entrance frowning his brows. I don’t have a good feeling about this. Why would prince Keith wanted protection from such rude commoner?

There she was,same place as yesterday.

"His Highness is at the gym right now,I will take you there."

"Oh no need, I’ll go there by myself,I’m sure you have a work to do. Thanks anyway."  Emily stated, smiling at him.

Wait,wait did she just smile at me?! Luke eyes widened at her,blushing all the way to the ears. Such a lovely smile…

"Um,um…your welcome…" he whispered.

Entering the gym,Emily saw prince Keith playing by himself. Deciding not to interrupt him, she just watched him for a while. After a few minutes.

"That would be a foul, Your Highness."  She stated loud enough for him to hear.

Keith glances at her slowly: “Are you saying I made a mistake, commoner?!”

"Yes,that’s exactly what I’m saying and I think you are aware of it." She said calmly.

Throwing a ball at her Keith commanded:

"Than show me what you can do!"

After thinking for a few moments she throw a ball back at him

"….Remember,you asked for it…"

Part 3
Hope you like it,fell free to message me,I would like feedback :)

At the moment Emily throw back at Keith,they started. The game was going on neck and neck. One after another they hit the net with slam dunk. Shooting the ball Emily held her breath willing the ball to go through the net. Just as it seemed the ball was gonna fall to the floor, it finally dropped into the hoop. At that moment voice rang through the gym.    

"My deepest apologies for disturbing your game,but Your Highness,it's time for you to get ready for the party." Focusing their attention on the voice Keith and Emily saw Luke at the door bowing deeply.  Grabbing a towel from the bench,Keith throw it at Emily

"We will continue this some other day." and headed out of the door. Little taken a back by his action,Emily mumbles "Sure,whatever... I'll be waiting for you at car."

After changing her clothes,Emily waited for a while when Keith walked out the castle.

"Fine feathers makes a fine bird I guess." she murmurs under her breath when she saw him approaching. Rising his eyebrow Keith growled: "What did you say commoner?!"

Looking into the sky,her lips curved in small smile: " Oh,I was just saying what a lovely weather we have."

She heard Keith's "Hmm..." as he passed by her and get into the car.

Upon arriving at the party,Emily scanned the crowd for any suspicion activity. She couldn't shake off a bad felling in her stomach. Knowing that her instincts are rarely wrong she stayed as close Keith as possible.  Just as the party was hitting a peak,a black smoke started to fill the room. Quickly grabbing confused Keith,Emily run toward the fire stairs. "I need a helicopter here now!" She was screaming at the transceiver. Casting her eyes down,she saw about five people running after them yelling "Over here, they headed for a roof!"

"Damn!" She cursed,and turned to look Keith in the eyes " Do exactly as I say and we have a chance!" Under her serious gaze all Keith could do is nod.

 When they arrived at the roof,she placed him in a shadow of a corner: "Sit tight, I'll keep them busy. Don't came out of any circumstances and when helicopter come-run!" it was all she said and run back toward the men that was already reaching the rooftop. Although she was unnumbered,Emily  keep them from advancing. Keith was mesmerized with her moves,how she dodged their punches with easy,but than:

"Bam!" A gunshot ranged and blood gushed from Emily's shoulder. Using the opportunity ,attackers knocked her down on the ground,punching her hard.  As she crouched down they started kicking her in stomach. Not able to stand it anymore Keith step out from the shadow. "Leave her alone,it's me you want!"

"Your Highness,no...run..." it was her last words before she passed out.

Grabbing him,bind his hands attackers throw Keith in a big van,and next to him,Emily,who was unconscious. Crawling close to her he spoke: "Don't you dare to die on me! Hey wake up! Emily! Emily...please don't die on me..."

After about an hour of ride on a bumping road,attackers took Keith and Emily at the dark room and lock them in.

Slowly regaining her conscious, Emily feel the throbbing pain in her shoulder.

"Finally awake?" a low whisper come to her ears.  Looking up,she saw Keith face right above her,noticing that she was laying in his lap.

"W,w,w,w,what are you doing? Why are you here? Are you trying to take advantage of me? Pervert,pervert,pervert!" she screamed at him,backing up of him.

"Oh,shut up! What a noisy commoner are you! I was just trying to help. I wasn't worry about you or anything!" Keith murmured turning his head to hide his blush.

Straightening her position, Emily cleared her throat: "Do you know what they want from you?"

Slightly surprised by calmness at her voice,Keith started: "I proposed a law about reforming economy system of Liberty and if that law get's approved by Parliament it won't be good for rich people whose want to increase they money. So now they want of me to undo the changes. But I won't do it! I want for all Liberty people to have right to work get far paid for they work!"

Listening him, Emily found herself admire Keith's love for his country,his people. He will be a great king one day. She thought, still unaware feelings that start to grow inside of her. She smiled at him:

"All-right  big boy, we have a few hours till sunrise,take a rest,we're escaping  tomorrow."
