Being a knight in one of the most successful kingdoms was a heavy burden. You had to defend the kingdom and the king's family with your life, and attacks from other sides were quite frequent, because everyone wanted a piece of your land.

You were the most honored knight in the kingdom, you received many awards and praise from the king and were his most trusted person. You were also the only knight who could guard the royal family.

But most of the time you were on campaigns and in battles, you were appointed to high positions and very often it was you who led the knights and commanded them. You were a cold and strict knight, sometimes cruel to your enemies but caring towards your people. You had been in this mess since childhood, so this lifestyle had raised you to be cruel, and now you had a heavy burden of battles, losses, and victories behind you.

But Leon...

Leon was the king's son, a gentle and young man who was always the favorite of the girls in the kingdom. Leon was a smart guy, but his hands had never touched a weapon. He was like a flower in a garden, delicate and untouched...

And because of this, cracks began to appear in your cold and cruel heart, but then it began to beat and glow when you saw Leon. His eyes were perfect, his features and figure... it was your weakness.

Leon, in turn, always treated you well and even worried about you when you went on campaigns.

But he was a forbidden flower.

As a knight of the Kingdom, you clearly could not claim the king's son, so you kept a professional and cold tone around him. And often you accidentally hurt Leon with your attitude, as he tried to get you to talk or melt your heart every time, but you were stubborn.

Imagine your surprise when the king appointed you as Leon's personal knight. Threats began to come from the enemy kingdom, and you had to be with Leon 24/7 to protect him.

You thought you would be something like a commander, but the king firmly said that you would guard Leon until the situation improved... You weren't against it, but you already understood how difficult it would be.

One early morning, you entered Leon's room to wake him up, but stopped mid-sentence when you saw him.

Soft rays of sunlight fell on Leon's bare back, which was visible because the blanket had slipped off. His hair was slightly tousled from sleep, and his hands were clutching the pillow while he was still asleep. God, he looked like an angel...

You admired Leon for a long time and even sat on the edge of the bed, not daring to wake him.

Your gaze fell on his back again, watching him and admiring his beauty, but when you decided to look up at his peacefully sleeping face, you saw that Leon had woken up and was looking at you.
