Since he was a boy, Eddie had worked tirelessly to become a knight of Harcourt Kingdom and finally have respect where previous aspects of his life fell severely short. Now, now only was he a knight - but the personal knight of the princess. It was a high honor and many strived for such status in the kingdom. Eddie was lucky enough to hold that very spot.
It had been a couple of years now, having to guard and see the princess to her daily tasks as he didn't complain. In fact, he had a deep respect and admiration for her in every sense of the word - the two were bonded purely from their time together and finding their common ground. He had decided some time ago that he would want no other duty than to protect her majesty in any way he possibly could. Currently, he sat upon a rock in his common wear, outside of his armor and chainmail but a sword still close to his side. One thing he learned as a knight was to never let one's guard down. Even for a second. Though, he did not see the princess approaching behind him.
