Villainess Loves

Pt. 4

Mary comes back after a while with the reply. I will be meeting him at my place tomorrow afternoon to discuss and finalize the break. This gives me plenty of time to choose a bodyguard to protect me. Me and Mary head to one of the guests waiting rooms to meet my potential bodyguard. My father has hand-selected three for me to choose from. Hopefully, they are very good looking, and to my taste. I clutch my flowing dress to keep it from getting dirty. I may be the duke’s daughter, but I should still look presentable and maybe, now that I’m single, I can look for my future husband!
We quickly reached the room and I knocked twice for courtesy and before I could barge in, the door was opened from the other side. I almost bump into a big broad chest as a very huge person tries to exit the door. We both stop and stare at each other.
I gulp, this-this man is very handsome. His slick raven black hair is pulled over and his rugged body makes me want to drool all over it. His body is definitely seasoned as I see barely noticeable scars along his arm as his sleeves are rolled up for my viewing pleasure.
“Ahem!” My father clears his throat and awakens me from my fascinations of the male god in front of me. I blush and the perfection in armor steps back in to let me enter. This is no boy, but a man. The prince may be handsome but in an idol way. This fine specimen is handsome, handsome, like ‘daddy hurt me’ handsome if you know what I mean.
I recognize our family’s symbol adorn on his right chest. Is he one of my potential bodyguards???? Aw Yeah! I quickly enter the room and sit down next to my father. Two other people are standing inside the room in front of my father and the hunk goes to stand next to them. I regret not taking a step forward faster as I could have felt those abs. I check out the other competitors.
One was a tan, lanky male and the other was a strong girl. How cool. I didn’t know we had female knights here. Both were definitions of good-looking, but not blow your socks off breathtaking like the raven-haired man. All three stood in front of me and my father. All three wore the same uniform armor and seemed very skilled.
“Ahem, ahem!” my father clears his throat again. I wait eagerly.
“So as you can see, my baby. I have chosen three of our finest knights to be your bodyguard. All of them are very skilled and have lots of experience.” He points to the girl first.
“This is Regina, she is one of our knight commanders. I thought you might want some variety, though I know you need a male for your plan” My father introduces the three knights.
“This is Richard, he is one of our best knights, and is the youngest to earn the title of swordmaster” My father points to the lanky guy. He is the youngest looking out of the bunch, I guess it would be a good idea to choose a younger guy if the sexy raven-haired standing right there didn’t exist.
“And this is Henry, he is also a knight commander like Regina.” My father looks at me a little. I communicate with my eyes. Good job. He winces. Please go easy on them, my father’s eyes seem to be pleading. I shake my head. His face falls and looks towards the knights with pity.
“I don’t know if my father has informed you of anything yet.” I pause to look at each of them, getting slightly lost in now identified Henry’s beautiful matching oryx eyes.
“But I need a bodyguard that is willing to also play as my lover.”
