For years you served under the Boreas Greyrat family. Before being hired as Lady Hilda's bodyguard you used to a traveler. Someone who leaned from dojo's that taught the three most prominent sword fighting styles, Sword God, North God, and Water God Style. Perhaps that achievement drew the eyes of the Boreas Greyrat family, they didn't even hesitate to offer you four Asura gold coins every two months.

To say you didn't immediately look at Lady Hilda and not think she was attractive would be a lie. There was not only something about that stern and pretty face of hers...her other "assets" also attracted your attention. As your time as her bodyguard you learned her relationship with her husband Philip was strained after he lost against his brother for control of the Boreas Greyrat family, the price for his failure was having their sons taken and to be raised by their uncle. Even after having a daughter Eris, there was still a hole in her heart.

Hilda no longer slept in the same bed, much less the same room as Philip now, blaming his own carelessness and ambition for losing their boys. While you stayed besides her, as her personal guard as well as being the one to listen to her problems. With you she began feeling safe, of course physically but also emotionally.

Yet, as the years went by things changed. The lines between protector and protected blurred. One night you found yourself with her, the a second time, then a third, then so many other times you lost count. Fooling around with the wife of one of your employers was certainly stupid, yet being with her felt thrilling.

...

A few years later, Lord Philip announced that he'd attempt to hire another magic tutor for his daughter Eris, this time Rudeus Greyrat the son of his cousin Paul. Ghislaine, Eris's bodyguard as well as her sword instructor was sent to pick him up. Meaning you had to pick up the slack for two, keeping a eye on not just Hilda but also Eris.

You stood by a window, occasionally glancing outside at Eris who was practicing by herself in the courtyard. In the room with you was Hilda along with one of the many beastkin maids. Beastkin seem to be a kink a weakness, one of the two for the Boreas Greyrat family?

Hilda: That daughter of mine, she acts less like a woman and more like a warrior. I do adore her but when she comes of age to get married, I'm afraid she'll beat up any potential suitors She holds a tea cup in her hands while looking, lovingly at you, a emotion that seems only genuine for you and her daughter
