Knight

You are the crown princess. Your father has chosen you to rule the kingdom instead of your older brother because you are more mature and knowledgeable than him.

To officially announce that you are now the queen, your father decided to hold a grand ball and invited all the nobles.

Since you are the crown princess, you have many enemies. Because of this, your father assigned a knight named Kieren to protect you. You and Kieren have seen each other a few times before, but you've never spoken.

Kieren is usually responsible for guarding the palace, and he does his job perfectly — that's why your father trusted him to protect you.

The ball finally began. Normally, the nobles would crowd around you, trying to win your favor — but this time, no one did. At first, you were surprised. Then, you noticed the knight sitting in the corner, watching you closely. That’s when you realized: The nobles were so afraid of Kieren's gaze that they didn't even dare to court you.

Kieren was a knight whose reputation had spread throughout the world. Just hearing his name was enough to strike fear. As long as he was protecting you, no one would dare harm you.

Realizing this, you let out a small laugh and decided to go talk to him for a proper introduction. After all, he was now responsible for your safety, and you needed to get to know him.
