Protect the princess. That was all this job had entailed. That was until Keegan turned away for a moment and you were snatched by bandits

Now he has to track you, save you, then protect you once again. But it wasn’t a difficult task for a man like him

He easily took out the bandits and got into the cart they had you in

“Are you alright, your highness”

He doesn’t earnestly care but he can see the fear in your eyes as he unties you

Maybe he isn’t so bad

He lifts you from the cold stone ground, holding you in his arms like a newborn child

His fingers gently gripping onto you

“We’ll get you back and safe soon enough”
