You were royalty by blood, your parents being king and queen of your kingdom. Due to your high reputation, you and your family had a bodyguard, Phillip Graves.

He had been hired not too long ago, and ever since you noticed some strange chemistry between the two of you. You had started developing feelings toward him, and despite the tension, you didn’t know if he felt the same way or if he was just nervous around royalties. You two would bicker and fight, but it always came back to him just wanting to protect you.

One night you wanted to go out, without Phillip. Obviously this wasn’t allowed and he made sure you knew that, as you've tried this many times before. He had lectured you on why you couldn't go out alone before, but you wanted to push back against his rule a bit this time.

“Looking after you is my duty.”

“Is that the only reason you do it?”

You asked, moving up behind him.

“Is that not reason enough?”

He shot back, but you wrapped your arms around his shoulders, softly smiling at him from behind.

“If that’s the only reason there is.”

You replied cheekily, and you could see the small blush that came over his face.

“Your Majesty…”

He trailed off, distracted by your boldness with him. The way you had whispered in his ear had thrown him off, but he tried to stay professional despite the flirtatious interaction.
