Hellbents
Chapter 91: Personal Guard
Ava's learning about the basic ethics of the royal family has indeed been completed, but to face a dance that involves more participants, especially from the part of the noble faction, she needs a deeper syllabus. In addition, of course, Ava needed teaching about couple dancing, because Marvin's short time was only teaching her the waltz, the first dance routine of every party held.
But Ava also had to insert her morning exercise in her daily schedule. “Rose, call a soldier with good fighting ability.”
The three servants Ava met when they had just woke up in the palace two weeks ago now silent, glancing at each other. “A soldier, Princess?” the red-haired girl confirmed.
“True. I want to try something.”
Rose, Lily and Daisy almost went with their spit. In their heads one word was shouted. Experiment!
Eve Weinhamer in the public eye is indeed known as a genius alchemist, a lot of potions, artificial artifacts, and other innovative items created by the daughter of Edodale to advance the development of the kingdom's technology. However, behind the figure that continues to be illuminated by light, there will always be a shadow that follows. In the rumors that were always being whispered about, no one dared to blatantly divide her, it was said that Princess Eve had a hidden laboratory used to conduct.
Besides being famous for her intelligence, Eve Weinhamer is also always associated with her cold and untouchable nature, every six months the workers assigned to serve Princess Eve continue to change. Many said the fired maid would be made a guinea pig by the princess. Rose, Lily, and Daisy almost have a heart attack when the butler tells them to become Princess Eve's personal servant when she just returns. That is, their turn becomes tumbal. So, they did not know to be relieved or feel guilty when the princess preferred a warrior to be sacrificed that month instead of them.
On the other hand, Ava just raised her eyebrows next to the sight of three people who only saw her enjoying a sudden shivering snack.

“Greetings, Captain Harry. If you may know, do you have a busy schedule every morning?”
“If a bodyguard is not specifically assigned to look after someone, usually every morning we do the exercises, Mr. Princess.”
“Then from now on you will be my personal bodyguard, who doubles as a sparring partner.”
Hearing him, Harry was clearly shocked. “Practice match, Princess?” During the five years he worked at the palace, Harry had only seen Princess Eve pay a visit to the library, not the training ground. Even if the princess's curiosity attracted her to the fight, wouldn't the first step be to find a mentor to teach her the basics of self-defense, so not jump straight into the fight?
Oh maybe during the four months of disappearing, the princess has been undergoing training in a remote area unknown to others with a hidden powerful master?
This explains the trail of Princess Eve who seemed to just disappear.
Well, whatever it is, Harry is not in a position to resist the orders of a princess.
