The Royal Bodyguard

         "All right before you start disturbing me over it every time! But you need to agree to some terms before I fully agree to let you go!"

       Her mother agreed. Lorry stuck a tongue out mischievously. Her brother congratulated her.

      "Congratulations Lor! I'll teach you some moves when I'm free!"

       "Thank you, Brother Roy! The number one best rookie knight in our kingdom! Hahaha!"

     Lorry teased and they all laughed along. Soon after, Lorry left for the training then the happened.

      Infact, the welcome banquet after the war was the first time Lorry saw the two.

        All she knew about the two were from rumours, her brother, Roy and the crystal app.

...

                        Lorry's POV

Present time.

       "Lorry, we are really really sorry!" Mallory said.

        "We didn't mean it to happen that way!" Austin joined in and explained further.

         "We looked for you to apologise after but it was too late! Brother Roy said that you had gone to knight training."

       "Actually, I don't really care about what happened in the past. I just wanted to know the truth and forget about it ones and for all!"

       Lorry said as she stood up and cracked her knuckles to relieve the stress then asked honestly.

        "So? Will you answer me?!"

      "OK! Thank you for giving me...us this opportunity!" Austin corrected his words.

       "It all started a week before that incident!"

        "My Prince, you should stop acquainting yourself with those two girls! There's nothing good about them!"

          A woman in her early twenties said to a twelve-year-old boy who was solving a problem in his book.

        "What are you talking about Teacher Cami? Mal and Lor are my best friends! They're even the first friends I made!"

       Austin said pausing to look at her with a smile.

         "My Prince, you don't understand yet because you are still young! I can clearly see the hidden motives behind those two!

        They're trying to play you into doing what they want! Don't you see that daughter of the knight?!

        Every time you make time to see them she always argues and forces you to give her things!"

       Miss Cami said furiously trying to make him side with her.

     Miss Cami was the prince's home teacher during the holidays.

        "Teacher Cami! If you continue to put such false allegations on them, it will only make me think that you're the one that has motives!"

        Austin warned seriously trying not to offend her.

         Teacher Cami had always been on the aggressive side when it came to him making friends but he never minded her because he felt like she did it out of love for him.

         "Can you check my work for me please?!"

        "OK! I'll let it go this time too like usual! Just that when you finally realise what I am saying, I wonder how you will react! I'll be there for you when you don't have a place to go!"

        Miss Cami said to him seriously. Austin answered uninterested.

          "Hi Hi!"

      Who knew that the day Miss Cami talked about would have come so fast.

...

          A day before the incident, a welcome banquet was arranged for the King and Prince of The Kingdom of Bali.

      It was small tea party set by the Queen in the royal gardens close to the blooming flowers.

        Not a lot of families where invited by the request of the King of Bali.

       Among those that were invited where Lorry Knight's family and Mallory Winter's family.

       Mallory and her family could not making because they went to visit their relatives that were not staying in the capital.

...

        "Are you enjoying the tea, Lor?!" Austin said when he saw Lorry.
