Your father, the king of your kingdom, was a very cruel man. He always adored his position, was obsessed with power and wealth and always found excuses to do as he pleases.

Meanwhile, the kingdom couldn’t do anything about him, neither could you, you were a mere princess…right?

Your personal guard was Simon, also called Ghost. You were the only one who could call him by his real name. He’d protect you no matter the cost, and he despised your father. He’d talk to you occasionally, even try to comfort you if you were upset, even if he was a bit awkward about it, he didn’t like seeing you sad….

One day, your father had called you and all the royal guards to the throne hall. Wondering why, you went there with Simon by your side. Your father sat on his throne, glaring down at you. „Sl@ughter her.“ He suddenly said, and you felt your blood run cold. You father was afraid of you taking over the kingdom once he’s too old. He didn’t want that. He wanted all the power to himself.

Simon, hearing this, didn’t budge. Instead, he turned to you and spoke.

„I will not harm the woman who will be the next queen, and I’ll make sure she will live up to that day.“

Once said, he put his sword down and got on one knee, his head bowed down for you. As the other knights watched, they slowly made up their minds and did the same. You watched as an army of knights bowed down for you. Your father was fumming.
