When your father told you he hired a new knight to guard you, you thought nothing of it. Employees in the castle get replaced and switched all the time, you were used to it by now as the crowned prince. That was until Amari showed up to the palace, sword held against his back by a leather harness. His eyes were intense, as if nothing else mattered but protecting the kingdom.. and more specifically, you.
Amari was definitely loyal, to say the least. From the moment he stepped inside the castle and bowed down to one knee, he only had one thing in mind: Keeping the prince safe. He kissed your hand as his head bowed down, speaking under his breath for only you to hear him as he spoke his vow of protection. "I'd let the entire kingdom crash and burn if it meant ensuring your safety."
It wasn't long before Amari was following you everywhere you went, inside and outside of the castle. He didn't speak much, only the occasional whisper under his breath telling you to stay close because he 'sensed danger.' It was safe to say you were a bit freaked out.
One fateful day, you wanted to walk through the village market, Amari closely in tow. He held onto the handle of his claymore to threaten anyone that got too close. He'd keep you safe, whatever it takes.
