Forbidden Love

Two Knights

  (I'm not really good at explaining details and stuff since I'm only a kid so let's just say Anica was wearing a lavender dress while Leo was wearing a periwinkle blue dress😅)

  Anica and Leo headed downstairs to the large living room where all their sisters were as well. Their father wasn't in the room yet, he was most likely talking to the person that they were about to meet. Lili turned to the two sisters walking towards them and sat on a bit farther couch from the other ones since they weren't really that close to each other. Allie and Annette chuckled at the two sisters and Anica just rolled her eyes in front of them for them to see so it would annoy them at some point, which did. "How dare you roll your eyes in front of us, Anica?! That is so disrespectful!" Exclaimed Allie. Anica covered her mouth to hide her grin and buried her face in Leo's shoulder while softly laughing. She loved teasing her siblings since they were so easily annoyed. Leo let out a fake cough to avoid laughing and looked away from the other five sisters and just stared at the spacious room decorated with flowers and ancient relics that were placed on some of the tables and corners of the room. "They're so fun to tease sis." Anica whispered while slowly lifting her head from Leo's shoulder and grinning. Leo smiled and nodded and she and Anica chuckled softly. 

10 minutes later

  "Ughh, where is dad?! Why is he taking so long?" Complained Annie and groaning and crossing her arms. "I know right! He's wasting my time!" Added Lennie as she pouted.  "I'm so sorry ladies! I was late, I was still talking to someone." Spoke the girls' father, who came in the room and smiled faintly. "Finally! You're so long!" Exclaimed Annette, while rolling her eyes away from her father, who sighed and spoke again, "Girls, I want you to meet two people, can you please stand up?"  Anica and Leo glanced at each other and then stood up, but their other sisters just stayed put in the couch.  The king sighed and nodded and faced the door behind him, "Come in." He said.  As soon as the father said so, two men came in the room. They both wore dress shirts, but they had different colors; One had a white dress shirt and the other had a light blue dress shirt. They also wore navy blue pants, and a silver cape, with black combat boots.
One of the two men smiled at the two sisters who were staring at him for quite some time. He had crimson red hair with free blue eyes and light skin.
Leo averted her gaze from the man and Anica chuckled at her sister's reaction. The other man fixed his gaze to the sisters who suddenly made a soft commotion, and somehow Anica accidentally made eye contact with him. He had midnight blue hair that gradually faded to jet black when it reached the bottom. He had amber eyes and was fair tanned. Anica stared him for a few seconds, but soon broke the eye contact as soon as her father started speaking again. The man seemed disappointed,but he just faced the father who was a few meters away from him.  "Anyways ladies, I want you to meet these two gentlemen, they are going to be your bodyguards starting today." Said the king, "Knights, why don't you introduce yourselves?"  The two men slightly bowed and the one with crimson hair smiled and introduced himself, "Hello my ladies, I am Aether, a knight from one of the borders of the empire, it's such an honor to serve your family. I promise to protect every single in of you with my life." The other man bowed slightly and introduced himself as well, "My name is Blake, I'm also a knight from the borders of the empire, it's a great honor to serve your family. I promise I will protect all of you with my life as well." Aether lightly jostled Blake on his hip using his elbow and whispered, "You just copied what I said dude." Blake rolled his eyes and shoved Aether away from him to give him space. Aether mildly shook his head and faced the king who were smiling at them, "Well that's all ladies, I hope you get along with them and treat them nicely. You may resume to what you were all doing." He said and he immediately exited the room.  The seven girls looked at the two knights and Aether said, "If you need anything, Blake and I will just be here."  Blake facepalms and said, "This is the living room of the royals you moron, we're staying at the lounge downstairs." Aether's eyes widened in realization and apologized immediately to the girls. Anica chuckled, "It's alright, everyone makes mistakes that's fine." She said with a smile. Aether sighed in relief and thanked her and soon he and Blake left the living room, leaving the seven sisters alone. Leo quickly glanced at all of them, and slowly and quietly slipped away without being noticed. Anica turned and noticed her sister was already missing so she immediately ran upstairs to catch up with Leo. Lili shouted at Anica not to run around the palace, but she didn't listen, not like she actually cared.

  Anica rushed up to Leo's room and opened the door, finding her sister sitting on her bed with a red face. Anica gasped and started to worry and she asked, "Sis, are you alright?"
