Prologue:
Wonderland has always been a magical world of war and deceit, assassinations and Guards to prevent them. These Guards are the Ace, the Ten, and the Nine. They protect the Queen and King, as well as their prince, the
Jack. These Guards are chosen out of many contestants over a six
month training period, only the top fifteen make it while the rest
are either made average castle Guards, only needed as precautions, or
sent back home to make a living on whatever business their family has
made for themselves.
Ever since Alice Opinor was born, her parents wanted her to go into the
family business- farming; but she has never wanted to plant seeds or
harvest fruits or vegetables. She's never wanted a simple life with
no surprises greater than an unplanned drought.
Always getting into trouble, she's known that she was meant for something
more than harvesting the corn. She knew she didn't belong in the
teeny cottage with more leaks than a colander. And so as soon as her
sixteenth birthday arrived, as soon as she was considered an adult,
she signed herself up for Guard training for her country, the country
of Spade.

By Royal Decree //Princess&Bodyguard
When the king of Andorra suddenly dies, Mias eldest brother, Luke, is forced into the position of king. Mia was one step closer to the throne than she'd ever liked, and that began her freedom streak, including parties and concerts. It sent the royal guards crazy, so many of them had quit. Her brother hired an American guard, one that was not on the royal payroll, but soon to be, to protect his sister. They were civil, until one night ruined it all, forcing them into the most poisonous hatred for each other. Despite this, he'd do anything to protect her, and she'd do anything to defend him. He was harsh and she was stubborn. Would either of them come to love one another? Or would the disagreements drive them insane? -- 'Theo will be here shortly.' My brother spoke softly. 'Theo?' I asked, my heart speeding up. He'd never mentioned anything about a visitor. 'Your new bodyguard. I thought you could use taming.' He responded, not even looking up from his newspaper. 'Isn't he a royal guard?' I frowned. 'No, none of them could keep up with you. Hes American.' -- ⚠️will include sexual content, swearing, sensitive subjects. Not intended for those under 16. I own all characters and storylines, the information about the royals may not be all true, as some will change to fit my story.
