Royal Bodyguards

Chapter One

Pidge was up earlier than everyone else as usual with having three hours of sleep. She dressed herself in her maid outfit. Which she modified to be light but armoured. Nobody knew she had done this and she couldn't feel when one of the man servants had punched her for their own needs. She quickly tied her hair neatly up and washed her face. Placing on her small black boots and exited the room. She had packed a weeks worth of her clothes and wipes and everything she needed since she was going with the prince to the Galran empire. This was to establish a peace treaty. Then she walked into the kitchen and grabbed some honey tea (which she knew the prince liked) and grabbed everything she needed. Then she boiled the water, walking with a tray of breakfast in her hand and the cups and spicers on a tray with the tea sugars and milk on as well. Then she opened the door with her foot and it was already 7:00 a.m. she gently knocked on the door to the princes room. When he said so she walked in.
"Good morning, today we have bacon, sausage, toast, tomato beans and egg for breakfast and honey tea. This will give you energy and nutrients for the long day." Once she laid that on the bedside table and poured him some tea, she walked to the wardrobe. Carefully pulling out some clothes and placing them carefully in a suitcase. Then she grabbed his evening war and packed them in another case. Then she placed the toiletries and hair products in a clear bag with assigned placed. Then she was finished packing.

After that she grabbed an under shirt, a blue over shirt and a white blazer, some black trousers and his golden crown from the wardrobe and let him change his under wear.

Once he changed his under garments she helped him place on his under vest. Then his over shirt and finally his white blazer with golden accents. She helped him step into his trousers and place on his socks. Grabbing some polished to perfection black loafers and helping him into them. Tying them to be comfy yet tight enough. Then she brushed his brown hair and styled it, quickly but carefully polished his crown and placed it on his head.

"All finished your highness." She stated grabbing all three bags and waiting for him.

"Thank you, I look dashing." Then he began to take long strides to the front door of the castle. Pidge kept up behind him, balancing the three bags, two on her head, one in her left hand.

When they got there the king looked in surprise at the two.
"You look better down today than the old maid had done, and you have the glow to your skin, well done, and miss Holt you have tremendous balance and timing." The king complimented. Pidge then bowed still not dropping the bags and continued to walk to the carriage. The blue, red and yellow swirling together. She strapped down all three bags and one very small one of her own. She was then forced to change by the queen into something more lady likely than her maid dress. So she changed into a green gown with a smaller cage to tie her stuff to. The sleeves were long and weren't tight on her so she tied another knife to the upper left arm. She still wore her brown boots but they went with the dress. She then hopped into the carriage after helping the prince in. She closed the doors and locked them.

Soon after they said bye, they set off.

Lance was patient and colouring a book, which Pidge had picked for his enjoyment. Meanwhile Pidge was alert and ready for anything. When an arrow flew through the carriage coming dangerously close to Pidge. She retaliated by hiding the prince, making sure he was comfy, taking the cushions from the seat there was a large box under that was secret to hide people in. She then covered it back up and walked outside.
"Hello, little girl, why are you out here?" A person in all black behind her asked. She turned around looking innocent. The guy had pale skin and black hair. She pretended to fall backwards in fear and shock as they came closer. They grabbed her hand.
"You are beautiful you know, it's a shame you have seen too much," with that she rubbed the top of her arm and grabbed the knife, stabbing him in the side.
"A lady never comes unprepared." With that she helped all of the guards heal and the person driving the carriage. Then helped the prince out of the box and tidied him up. Making sure no one else was there. They then set of again. She healed the assassin. But tied him to the tree trunk. She sheathed the dagger back into the upper arm slot.

"Your highness we are here!" Announced a guard. They opened the door and helped the prince out, leaving Pidge to jump out.

"Now introducing for an audience with Emperor Zarcon and his son Prince Lotor, Prince Lance and his personal maid and body guard!" The maid walked down first helping Lance down carefully yet quick enough to not bore the king.

"Hello Emperor Zarcon, Prince Lotor." Lance said, Katie bowed to them.
"I see your maid has more manners than ours do." Lotor remarks. Looking at Katie. She looked down.
"Thank you your highnesses, The then motioned for a couple guards of Lances place to come take her place.
"Where are you going?" Lotor Asked. She smiled up at them.
"I must be preparing Lances evening wear and dinner. Plus I must help park the carriage, feed the horses and lead them to the stables and lastly make sure a bed is made for Prince Lance that is comfy and made up." She said politely. Lotor smirked and nodded for her to be dismissed as she did just that. After all of that was done she walked into the dinning room and helped the other maids with their chores. When Lotor walked in unannounced she bowed and continued with the work of setting the tables.

"Are you doing our maids jobs?" Lotor Asked. Katie nodded before adding.
"Sorry, yes sire I am, I decided that I should do the dinning room up tonight and allow them to continue with the chores that take longer to do." She answered him. He grabbed her wrist and dragged her out of the room after she set the table. Pulling her into a bedroom.

"You work so hard. Please come to dinner as just his body guard, get changed into this purple dress and I will bring two adults to help you." He said leaving the room. She nodded as he closed the door.

She changed after going in the shower. Tying her hair up, and placing on the dress with the cage on it. She shielded both knifes on her ankle, as it was a sleeveless dress. Then she noticed two adults walk in.
"Welcome, I am Sam and my wife here is Coleen, we shall be doing your hair and makeup." The man said. Pidge looked up.
"Mom, Dad?" They looked down at her. Tears in their eyes.
"Katie!" She jumped and hugged them. They helped her finish up getting dressed.

Then they escorted her to the dining room. Emperor Zarcon was about to dismiss them until he noticed their smiles as well as the dresses up maids.

"What is the meaning of this? Why are you dressed up and why are you smiling so widely?" Loto and Lance wondered two as did every other person there.
"Prince Lance you know how I told you of my parents?" He nodded,
"May I introduce My mother Coleen, and my father, ex-head of the royal Altean guard, Samuel." Lotor looked at them seeing the resemblance, then pulled two extra seats out for them.

"So we have peace?" Lance asked. Lotor nodded.
"Indeed, and to symbolise this we shall have you stay here under protection for a week. Do you have enough clothes for that?" Pidge nodded. Lance looked at her.
"Yes my personal maid packed them." Lotor and Zarcon laughed and the maids chuckled.
"She seems to do a lot, she might as well be the First in lines maid. And the maid of a a castle. She does all the work. How long has she worked for just you Prince Lance?" Coleen and Sam were intrigued but quiet.
"Since she was 3 for the whole castle and she started today because yesterday she saved my life." Lance explained. Lotor was very intrigued,
"How..?"
