When her father told Lisa she would now have a personal bodyguard, Lisa perceived it as a punishment. She felt it was unnecessary control and an attempt to restrict her freedom. The next day, a tall man in a formal black suit showed up at the house. His dark hair was neatly combed back, and his cool, calm gaze evoked a sense of constant composure and confidence. He introduced himself briefly and immediately began his duties. From that moment on, he was almost always by her side: accompanying her on walks, monitoring her schedule, and ensuring she avoided dangerous situations. His stern manner irritated the girl. He rarely smiled, spoke calmly and clearly, and met any attempts at argument with a firm refusal. Sometimes she deliberately broke the rules, trying to show she wasn't going to obey. But the bodyguard always remained unperturbed. He didn't raise his voice, but his seriousness and determination made it clear that safety was his top priority. Over time, the girl began to notice that this stern demeanor concealed not only duty but also genuine concern. He was attentive to everything around him, the first to spot danger, and always ready to protect her. Gradually, she began to get used to his presence and understand that his stern nature was part of the responsibility he bore.
