My cold but sweet guard

CHAPTER FIVE

MICHEAL'S POV...

I sat in my room and looked out the window.I signed and shifted in my seat.Thinking....thinking...thinking.I heard a knock on the door.''Come in''.Elena poked her head through the door.''What's wrong?''.I shook my head at her question.Se walked in and sat on my bed, rubbing my shoulders.''You can tell me anything that bothers you.''.I looked at her and smiled.''Thanks sis''.''I'll be leaving now''She stood up and left.

I stared at the ceiling and sighed.I guess I have no choice but to do my duty.I can't let my previous life turn out the way it did.I stood up and walked to the bathroom to clean up.

[Time skip to a week later.]

''Son,are you sure about this?''.I nodded.''It is after all my own duty''.The cabinet members nodded their heads.''Very well.Start planning for the war.Sir Dominic will be your second in command.And be safe,'' the father sighed in fear.I stood up and left the conference room as my father called the meeting to an end.

''Why on earth are you following me?''.Sure enough,Sir Dominic himself came out from the shadows.''Guess you're the only one who can't be spied on,huh?''.I rolled my eyes,put my hands behind my head, and kept walking.

''Well?''.He seemed confused about my question.''What do you want to tell me?''.I softened up a bit and turned to look him in those amethyst eyes that held so much.''Um...''he just shrugged his shoulders.So much for the complements.Will I ever get an answer from him that I want?

Later that day,I decided to go into the village to look around and to think.Father insisted Sir Dominic would come with me.I walked past the stalls,admiring all the goods.''Well,this sure is comforting''.I quickly turned around,ready to hit him, when I realized what was wrong.He had been struggling to tie his long white hair in a ponytail because it kept getting in his eyes.

''Let me help''.I pulled him to a bench and made him sit down.There was an uncomfortable silence.His hair is so soft and clean.I just don't want to let go of it.I ended up snuggling my face into his hair.''Um...Your Highness?My hair isn't a cat''.I snapped out of my trance and pushed away,yelling.''Why would you say that?Do you think I was cuddling your hair?Don't be skeptical. There was something in it!''

He just sighed and shrugged.I looked at my hard work and smiled in pride.Perfect.He stood up and stared ahead with a cold glare.

I just realized that this is supposed to be a fantasy world.One of magic...AND I HAVEN'T EVEN MENTIONED SUCH!!!NO ONE TOLD ME!!!]

He raised his hand in the direction he was facing, and a dark magic aura shot out of his hand,obliterating a carriage coming our way.Four men in black began firing fireballs at us.He pushed me aside and blocked their attacks with his bear hand.

I could only stare with wide eyes as he rushed to me,pulling my arm and yelling at me to run.We both held hands and ran as the attacks kept coming.Tears began to form at the rim of my eyes and I could only tighten my grip on Sir Dominic and keep him pace.
