My cold but sweet guard

Chapter Eight

DOMINIC'S POV...

I continued to watch Micheal's training sessions.I laughed so hard whenever he tried to run away but was caught and thrown over the instructor's shoulders and brought right back to the courtyard.Or when the instructor got so mad,he'd leave the poor young man in the courtyard alone.

I considered what the other guards had told me about Micheal liking me more and all that stuff.When I was well enough to get back on the job,I could'nt believe the happy look on his face when he clung to me and told the instructor,he was not needed anymore.

"So...tell me.Were you a good boy?"I smirked and looked at him."I won't lie...I was not.".I rolled my eyes and pulled him to the courtyard."C'mon,let's get to training".His sweet childish smile was pure gold.

After today's training,we sat down in the nearby fields and talked."How do you feel about this upcoming war?"I asked.He just shrugged and stared at the sky."It's my responsibility and....even though I don't know anything about being a prince,I want to try and take another chance to actually live again".

I nodded."Tell me what your past life was like".He shrugged.It turns out,his parents favored his twin brother over him and his friends often left him out of their outings.One day,they took him hiking and threw him of the edge of a cliff.

"The must have been hard for you"I placed a hand on his shoulder."It was,but I'm happy I'll never see them again"He wiped a tear and smiled.
