in the kingdom of guardians
"Master! We are in a grave danger! As you aware, humans nowadays are heartless compared to humans back then. I've gone into a deeper investigation and found out that it was the Na's family from The Kingdom Of Titans doings. They're planning to make all humans' rationality clouded by irrationality and kill each other.
In order to completely achieve that, the devil's Na family are going to assassinate the last cupid of the Cupid's royal blood, Huang Renjun. Why him? I still can't figure it out. But my instinct is telling me that the last inheritor of the Cupid's royal blood holds the most in compassionate power of love for the human beings. He can completely erase hatred leaving not a single ounce of hatred in one." A man in approximately his mid age bowed in front of the master.
The master, Elder Lee was surprised after hearing the man's detailed explanation. He gulped a fistful of saliva to calm himself as he stroked down his long grey beard. He very knew what was the consequence of the destruction of mankind. That would lead to Titans's take over because it had always been their nature to slaughter and end a war with blood.
The only option to lead the banishing humans were through a strong tyrannical master and the Kingdom of Angels would no longer be needed as humans wish to end it according to the Titans's way.
With another single stroke of his beard, he let out and affronted frown. Elder Lee wasn't expecting that one day he would finally say this word so his face was contorted in displeasure. "General Nakamoto, I can't believe these words are coming out of my own mouth but, we must protect the last cupid at all costs. Send over your best disciple, I want it to be Eun."
General Nakamoto's face slightly darkened. "But— but master, this is between life or death, she– she hasn't been associated with any kind of task before! She is indeed inexperienced disciple if you want I can send the Nakamura's, Hina indeed. She is certainly more experienced in this field." General Nakamoto said with a hint of nervousness.
"No. I want Eun. Eun is pure hearted I believe she would braid this mess up. Furthermore, didn't she say that she wanted to she want me to send up for her first task? I trust only her. Not that Nakamura of yours." Master Lee emphasized the last words with certain accent to clarify that he was being serious.
Right after that a plume of dusty smoke appeared in front of them. After the smoke was cleared out it revealed a toughen up girl with determination scribbled all over her face.
"Grandpa Lee, I heard someone said that.... Is it true!? Please say to me that it is true! Oh the stars have answered my wish! Im going to my first task as an official guardian!" She squirmed with a pleasant sense of happiness and joyous breaking through her voice. She couldn't help but went straight to General Lee as she engulfed him with her warm embrace.
"Ehem." General Nakamoto cleared his throat and fraud his coughs. He was quite upset because his existence didn't seem to be approached enough by the younger one. "Eun, Im going to deduct 3 marks due to your ignorance and lack of respect." General Nakamoto stood still, eyeing his disciple tensely.
"I mean master, it will be my greatest honor to finally represent the guardian's kingdom as a.... Guardian?" She couldn't help but snorted a little after saying the word guardian. She cleared her throat and straighten up her body posture.
"To begin with, I'm going to show my gratitude by giving all out of me, I'm going to spend my blood, sweat and tears in order to protect the one that I am responsible to protect. When can I start my task?" She asked at a leisure pace with a hint of tensed seriousness.
The corner of Elder Lee's mouth curled looking at the girl in front of him. Realization hit him that the little girl from over 14 years ago whom he picked up after being abandoned by her own family wasn't little anymore. He knew he was at the brink of an emotional breakdown therefore, he bit his tongue harshly whilst sucking a batch of fresh air to swallow up his tears. "You– you may start now. I'll send you to the Cupid's royal palace. Your responsibility should be there." Elder Lee spoke up before disappearing into thin air.
It was hard for him to let go of Eun. He was scared that Eun will eventually get hurt again. After all these 14 years without any single task though Eun, had broke onto the sky level cultivator, who do you think was responsible behind all of this? It was Elder Lee. He forbidded General Nakamoto from giving her any task that might hurt herself.

the cupid's royal palace
"Mia! Do you know what day is the next day after tomorrow?" In the enormous dinning hall, sit two young masters of the Huang family. A sound of a 18 years old boy chirped in excitement shattered the deafening silence.
"Brother Renjunie, how would I know? I'm 17 what are you expecting me to know?" Mia huffed with her mouth filled with unmunched steak. She sighed once again. Not that she did not know, it was just she was too lazy to cope with her brother's childish antics.
Renjun absentmindedly pouted his lips in disappointment. "Let me tell you something, mom and dad married at merely the brink of the age 14. Now, say that again to me please. I would like to hear it once again coming from you." He struggled to offend the young mistress but it was a fuel attempt, though.
But Mia was right. She could barely do anything due to her weak condition. Due to it too, her existence as the youngest master of Huang was kept from the outside world to know. Viewing from the outsiders' perspective, Huang Renjun was the youngest inheritor of Cupid's royal blood, grasping the fame and wealth from others.
"Young master, there is a guardian longed for your appearance." The butler came interrupting the newly attached siblings. Renjun scoffed. "Not another one! I told you I don't need personal bodyguard. I'm doing fine on my own!" He said.
"But young master, the kingdom of guardians have personally sent their guardian to accompany you. It's not nice to reject such offer..." The butler retorted. Renjun's eyes shimmered in a beautiful way.
Kingdom of guardians? Could it be her? It must be her! I know it's her! Even mom and dad acknowledged my liking towards her that's why they personally asked the kingdom of guardians to let her be my guardian as a gift for my upcoming birthday!
Renjun faked cough to hide his excitement. "Uh– bring her in." He demanded. Just as the door started to open, Renjun's heart started to ponder.
Nakamura Hina finally you're coming. I know it's you.
But little did he know that he put his hopes a little too high? He did not foresee the probability of it to be someone else other than his sweetheart, Nakamura Hina was higher as much.
