Pick a guard?

I let out a sigh. I feel exhausted. Ever since father told me I had to retrieve this certain "item"that he won't tell me any thing about I've been packing and preparing nonstop. I would have had my servants do all of this, but for another mysterious reason father won't allow it. I'm in my room, on my bed absolutely fed up of all of his bullshi-
" my lady?"
Says a voice outside my door. It's Undyne captain of the royal guards. I tidy up my hair and the little mess I made packing before opening the door.
Undyne gives me a formal salute and walks in.
" Are you ready to pick your personal guard to accompany you, my lady?"
I would have rolled my eyes if  Undyne wasn't so intimidating. Always hated all that " my lady" stuff. I had almost forgotten about the guard stuff too.
" yes of course." I replied.

We walked down a LONG staircase ( Thought my legs would fall off ) to a hallway in Undyne's training room. It's dark and lit by the torches, casting lovely shadows around the walls. Around twenty guards are lined up perfectly straight.
Of course they are. I almost scoff. It's proper but stiff and unwelcoming. Just the kind of thing I hate. I'm going to make this as quick as possible.
Undyne gives me a nod of encouragement and I start walking down the hallway. Each of the guards are stiff and well built. They look like they could snap me in half with just their pinkies.  Half of them are surprisingly women. I guess Undyne wants me to be comfortable since it'll just be me and my guard. I smile, it was very nice of her to do that.
I keep walking down the hall.
And then someone catches my eye.
He's much shorter then the other guards.( probably the reason he stood out to me) And he doesn't look stiff at all. He's not all too muscular. And with his blue and silver armor that obviously doesn't suite that determined look....
Well it almost looks....
Cute....
Undyne looks uneasy, and I get the feeling he's not supposed to be here. He's definitely not......guard looking enough to be here.
A trouble maker, heh?
It makes me smile almost immediately. In return this "guard" has the nerve to wink right back. Well that definitely settles it.
I turn to Undyne.
"Him." I say with absolute confidence.  "He will accompany me to the neighboring kingdom."
Undyne looks even more uneasy.  She puts her hand on my shoulder, and asks
"My lady, may I talk to you in private?"
"Of course."
And with that she steers me away.
" my lady, this guard is in training. I don't even know WHY he's here." She whispers furiously.
"I understand.....And I want him anyway." I whispered back
"Wha-WHY???" Her whisper is almost audible to the guards behind us. But thats not important. What's important is that I have no idea what to say.
A good five second passes before I say
" uhh.. I felt a magical connection with him."
100 percent bluff. It's such a blasphemous lie I don't think she'll take it, but her eyes widen in amazement.
" human magic? Like your mothers?" She gasps.
"Y-Yes." I bluff again, even though I KNOW I didn't inherit moms magic. I have no idea why everyone thinks I did.
" well then..."Undyne says " I  suppose with some protection spell it should be fine... considering this is a chance to discover more of your magic."
I give her a nervous smile.
She turns around to face the small guard, who was starting intensely.
" this is swap sans." She introduces. "He will be (y/n)s personal guard. The rest of you are dismissed." She says in a more commanding tone. The remaining guards quickly leave.
My personal guard has the happiest expression plastered on his face. His pupils actually turned into stars.
Wow how do even MAKE star pupils???
He takes a step forward but Undyne puts her hand on his shoulder, leans in and whispers something in his ear. Judging from his expression it was a threat.
Then Undyne just steps back and smiles like nothing ever happened.
" I suggest you get some rest princess. You two will be leaving at dawn."
Then she dragged swap sans away. But not before he shots another wink. And just like that their gone.

Wait where's the staircase back to my room?!
