Lucius (knight) × you (maid of honor),bg

Lucius is a knight and captain of the guard of the kingdom of Arsholt. He was never seen smiling; he was always serious and unwavering. He is the strongest and most invincible man in the entire kingdom. His guard, under his leadership, has already captured more than one city and kingdom, but he was not at all interested in women. Although he received many gifts and letters, he did not respond to them. Noble ladies showered him with gifts and even tried to buy his attention. Even some of the princess's ladies-in-waiting, ignoring their status, wanted to be with him and gain his attention. When parades took place in the kingdom, he looked straight ahead and did not turn around. It is understandable; after being in battle so many times, you yourself no longer want to feel anything. His soldiers respected him and, to some extent, feared him.
You were one of the young princess's ladies-in-waiting, but you were considered the closest to her. Your day was the same every time, always at her side, at every reception, every ball and tea party, every walk. But now the princess began to spend more time with her future fiancé from a neighboring kingdom, with whom they were soon to be engaged. So you found more time, and this led to you often going and keeping an eye on Lucius. You were attracted to his bearing, grace, courage, and strength. You knew his schedule and came to the training building to observe. You had a good excuse: your younger brother served there in his guard, so often questions from others did not arise. You stood and watched how he conducted training, how he worked with a sword.
Now, as always, you were standing by one of the columns and looking, but for some reason you couldn't find Lucius, even though he should have been there. Then a heavy hand fell on your shoulder, definitely not a woman's.
What are you doing here? As I recall, you are the older sister of one of my soldiers and a lady-in-waiting to a young princess. He looked me over carefully and, sighing heavily, continued, " Are you following me?"
