Magic's Temptation

Chapter Nineteen

Unexpected Encounters: Lord Kai and the Princess

As the king continued sharing his concerns, he expressed his fear for his daughter, his voice trembled with worry, and his eyes showed the burden of a father desperate for his child's safety. "For years now," he began, "my beloved daughter has remained confined to her chambers, hidden away from the world. Every night, she tosses and turns, unable to find rest, haunted by the looming presence of a dark and malevolent creature. This monstrous being has terrorized our land, lurking in the shadows, preying on the innocent, and leaving a trail of sorrow and despair in its wake."

After Lord Kai heard the king's worries about his daughter's safety, he bravely accepted the duty to protect her from the dark monster. He promised the king he would put an end to the threat. The king then made another request, expressing his concern about his daughter's safety in her chamber. He wanted Lord Kai to be her personal guard and protector. The king even promised to marry his daughter to Lord Kai if he succeeded in his mission.

The following day, the king offered Lord Kai the most beautiful and spacious chamber in the palace, the same one where the princess slept. Lord Kai agreed to stay there to protect the princess. As morning came, the princess woke up in a joyful mood and dismissed her attendants, wanting to do things herself and sneak out of the chamber. She was wrapped in a towel and singing as she headed towards the bathroom. To her surprise, as she opened the door, she saw a handsome man with long blue-black hair, partly plaited, and a perfectly sculpted body with six-pack abs. The sight of him left her stunned and she couldn't help but let out a loud scream. She stumbled, on the verge of falling, unable to maintain her balance in the face of such astonishment.

Before she could fall, Lord Kai swiftly moved closer and caught her, his hands gently holding her back to prevent her from stumbling. The moment seemed to linger as they looked at each other in surprise. The princess noticed the long and beautiful eyelashes on this man's face, resembling that of a girl, yet it only added to his attractiveness. His Adam's apple perfectly fit him, and his serious expression gave him a captivating charm. As Lord Kai held her, her towel accidentally slipped and fell to the ground, causing her to scream again in embarrassment. However, Lord Kai quickly turned his back, covering his eyes to assure the princess that he hadn't seen anything inappropriate.

The princess blushed and tried to gather herself, feeling both flustered and curious about this mysterious man who had appeared in her chamber. She couldn't help but wonder who he was and why he was there. Little did she know that he would become her protector, guard, and perhaps even more as their paths intertwined in unexpected ways.
