Milan☆

The Beginning: The First Meeting Between Milan and the Princess

One dark night, with the moon hidden behind heavy clouds, the "princess" arrived at the palace in complete silence. The palace guards were busy with the princess's festivities in disguise, while Milan stood in the corner of the hall, as always, watching everyone carefully. Her steps were so light, they seemed to extinguish the light around her.

She stopped in front of him. He was still there, his green eyes shining with an invisible gleam, watching her apprehensively. “You’re… the palace guard?” she said, trying to hide the concern in her voice. He answered in a cold voice without raising his head, “Yes, Your Highness.” At that moment, he felt something strange invade his heart, but he didn't allow it to show on his face. It was the first time he'd seen her up close, but she wasn't like any of the other princes he'd met. There was something mysterious in her eyes, something that almost betrayed her true nature. The princess felt something uneasy twist around her heart when she met his gaze, but she didn't know why.

Discovery: Milan discovers her true nature without her knowing.

Days passed, and Milan watched the princess closely, as he was supposed to. He silently protected her, showing no sign of discomfort. But one day, in an unexpected incident, something unexpected happened.

As the princess was passing through the dark corridors of the palace, she happened to suddenly fall, and her eyes disappeared for a brief moment behind the veil she was wearing. At that moment, Milan rushed towards her, reaching out to catch her before she fell to the ground. But what he discovered was shocking.

Beneath the veil, her features were clear...and they were not those of a young prince as he had thought, but rather the girl with the mysterious eyes, the princess in disguise. A moment of silence... His eyes studied her face, which had a tense expression. “You... you are not a prince.” He said in a quiet voice, his eyes staring intently into hers. The princess felt embarrassed and didn't know how to respond, but she quickly recovered and said in a cold tone, "Don't tell anyone." But Milan didn't say a word. He looked at her for another moment, then said quietly, "I won't tell anyone. But you have to be more careful."

That moment was the beginning of his understanding of her true nature, but there was no doubt in his eyes... He didn't care about identity, but rather his mission to protect her.

Shot 1: [First meeting] The sound of heavy footsteps on the marble floor, and a sharp voice rising: “Is this the new guard? He looks like a statue…” The princess looked up at him. He was standing firmly, his features impassive, his green eyes as if they were observing everything without blinking. She whispered to herself: This person... is like no one else.

Shot 2: [The secret is about to be revealed] A quiet night, the moon half hidden, and a silken voice whispering: “Prince? Why are you wearing a maid’s robe?” The princess froze, her heart almost stopping. But Milan didn't come closer, just closed the door behind him and said quietly, "Your secret is safe, Your Highness."

Shot 3: [At the training ground] “You're weak, you wouldn't last a moment in a real fight.” The princess threw the wooden stick away: “I’m not here to become a fighter!” Milan looked at her for a long time, then said in a low tone, “But the world is merciless to those who don’t know how to fight... even if they are a prince in disguise.”

Shot 4: [Vague feelings] The princess fell off the horse, and everyone ran towards her, but he beat them to it, hugged her for a moment, and then immediately left as if nothing had happened. His eyes were confused, for the first time. Why did my heart... flutter? she thought, while he turned his face away and said coldly, “I was only doing my duty.”

Shot 5: [Threat in the Shadows] A letter arrived signed in blood: "We know who you are." Milan silently handed it to the princess, then said, “Time is running out... From today, never leave me again.”
