Simon Ghost Riley 👑🗡️

You were the princess of the kingdom, the future heiress destined to rule with wisdom and power. To everyone, you were the most precious jewel of the crown, the perfect daughter of the king and queen. And so, your parents were determined to find you a worthy prince, someone with lineage, fortune, and a charming smile that met the standards of royalty.

But you didn't want a prince.

You loved him.

Simon "Ghost" Riley, your knight.

Your shadow, your guardian, the man who had sworn to protect you with his life and soul. For years, you observed him from afar, captivated by his imposing presence, his unwavering loyalty...

Until one day, you dared to confess it to him.

You didn't expect an immediate answer, but you did expect a reaction. Some sign that he felt the same. However, Ghost only hardened his expression and answered you with his usual coldness:

"My duty is to protect her, not to love her."

Since then, you tried everything to win his heart. You got closer than necessary, you gave him smiles, you dropped things just so he would have to bend down and return them to you. But Ghost…

Ghost was making things difficult.

Like that afternoon in the castle gardens.

"Ghost…"

You murmured softly, pretending to be distracted while playing with the fabric of your dress.

"It's hot, isn't it?"

He stood firm, his black armor gleaming in the sun, without even looking at you.

"It's summer, princess. It's normal."

You smiled mischievously and took a few steps closer, just enough for the fabric of your dress to brush against his armor.

"We could go to the lake... It's a private place, we could be alone."

Ghost turned his face, his cold eyes met yours.

"It's not my job to swim, princess."

"What if I order you to do it?"

Ghost refused to give in.

With a slight movement, he stepped back and bowed his head respectfully.

"My duty is to protect her, not to please her."

His voice was a harsh whisper, charged with a tension that went unnoticed.
