Love of lifetimes

Chapter 3

Soon, Royal father and mother arrived with our country's bubbly prime minister. Their arrival eased the awkwardness in air and I heaved a silent sigh of relief.

We all moved to the conference table. My Royal father begins his speech by congratulating me and also giving his appreciation to the knights for their hard work and efforts in competing for the role of being my guardian knight. He did not say much and directly moved to the main issue.

First of all, he asked each of them to introduce their selves. The first one by the Prime Minister's side is named Aaron with a raven like hair color about 181 cm tall, distinctive features but I am safe to say that most people in this empire are beautiful, the one that follows him is the same height and the ten of them are of the same height range as Aaron except the cold boy. The boy that is seated next to Aaron is named Derek, the next Marcus, and so on until the cold boy whose name is Erick.

Honestly, their last names are too long for me to remember. The cold boy's appearance is a bit different from the others, maybe because of the aura he carries. He is like an unsheated sword ready to strike, full of bloodlust and its aura icy cold that seem to freeze people except its owner and right now I am determined to be the only exception.

I love challenges and acting sweet to relax the other party's guard and I am determined to do so. In short I am a dare-devil, I have never met my match. Father, I choose Erick, I decided without being asked inciting a gasp followed by a killer glare from mother.

According to the tradition, I should have choosing three out of the eleven of them and they would have to go through a probation on our compatibility and stuffs for the period of a month, then on my coming of age ceremony I would choose a guardian knight and we will perform the oath taking ceremony.

Since you have decided earlier than expected, it's alright but your knight will still go through the probation period. Alright, that's it for now, I appreciate your efforts and hard work surely after my daughter's coming of age ceremony you will be rewarded and honored. Right!! You are all dismissed,my father concludes the issue with these words.

As a princess among those who were dismissed, I have to leave first according to the etiquettes. I left the office knowing that my dear dearest guardian angel!! Will start his probation tomorrow but glancing back at him, he doesn't seem to be flattered by the honor of being a princess guardian knight. Like imagine the honor even the increase in salary and reduction in the chances of being discharged to different parts of the empire to work.

Hmmph, I will surely lecture him on how to be grateful tomorrow at least shows gratitude with words, who knows what can happen if he keeps that his cold temperament up. Now that we are both basically stucked together, if he does that to other members of the royal family isn't that a slap on my royal face.
