Seraphina
"You don't understand papa, I don't need guards" I say frustrated, running my hand through my ginger red waivy hair, as I pace through my room, and my dad staring at me with no emotions in his velvet blue eyes. I hated how I got my eyes from him, although they weren't as emotionless as his but even looking a bit like him was like an insult to me.
My father, King Aleric Draeven Valenhart, the ruthless king of our beautiful kingdom Velmora. The only good thing he did in his life was marrying my mother and maybe being a reason to my birth. Yes, me, Princess Seraphina Valenhart. It's my birthday today and my pain in the ass of a father got me a gift he says, or...just another excellent reason for me to run away from this palace and start my life as a commoner.
"I said what you heard Seraphina, no more words" my father said with his starn voice, his expressions not so visible but a determination in his eyes. "You will have a bodyguard for all times sake, I am done with you sneaking out of the palace" he says bluntly as he looks at me, maybe wishing I wasn't his daughter for a second before speaking again "Commander Kael Thorne will be meeting you tommorow nine in the morning sharp and if..." The old man started walking towards me, his body language speaking of pure threat "if I get any new of you sneaking out tonight, I am gonna forget you are my daughter and make your life miserable" he says before turning around and left.
My body trembled as I walk towards the edge of my bed and sit down, yes, I was scared of my father. Anyone would be if they saw their dad unaliving someone right infront of his 5 year old daughter, I still remember the splash of the blood that landed on my face when father slit the man's throat.
I bite my lower lip "no no no this can't be, I can't get a guard, my freedom, fuck fuck fuck" I say tears roll down my eyes, my body was trembling from a fear i didn't know about, I hug myself as I close my eyes and push my body back to lay on the bed, my legs still hanging on it's edge.
"Commander Kael Thorne" I say the guards name who will be like a third eye for my dad, to keep me on track. But I didn't know much about this man, I have heard his name in local news but nothing in general. No one knew what he looked like, all in the name of reputation he had was, the man was scary but breathtaking.
I lay on my side, coiling my body up, and before I knew it, I was deep asleep.
***********************************************
I wake up, with the noice of my maid Daisy calling my name with her soft voice and a sweet smile.
I open my eyes just to see her concern face, I sit up rubbing my eyes as I look at her "what's wrong Daisy?" I say, just to meet her Hazel eyes. "Did you cry again last night miss?" She asked, taking me back to the memories of last nights conversation with my father. And suddenly I feel a sharp pain in my head as I hold it with both my hand, daisy instinctively hands me a glass of water.
"Thanks" I say to her before drinking the glass of water and putting back the empty glass on the nightstand beside me. "Did my father say anything about today to you?" I ask daisy bluntly as I get off my bed and start walking towards the bathroom.
"Yes miss, highness said that your bodyguard would be arriving today so I must doll you up" she says as she follows me, and I laugh at her words mockingly "'doll me up?' what is it a married ceremony?" I say as I strip down my night dress and enter the warm tub that daisy prepared before walking me up, I sink my body in the water as she helps me bath.
***********************************************
I was in my father's studyroom from twenty minutes now, my patience running thin, when suddenly I hear the door open, my father walked in the room with a tall man behind him. "This is Commander Kael Thorne, and Kael this is my daughter Seraphina" my father said with the most fakes smile he could give, it was creepy honestly when you know how his hands are so bloody behind that smile that almost looks innocent.
My eyes drift back to Kael Thorne, the man who is the talk of the town, he had grayish green eyes, black hair and tanned skin, I look down at his jaw that has a big scar started from his cheek to his upper neck, his lips were the perfect shade of pink with his skin tone, and he was atleast 6'5 ft tall, I wonder what his voice-
"Hello maddam" Kael speaks, his voice having the effect of making me weak in my knees, it was the perfect proportion of a deep, and husky voice, he walked towards me, and instinctively i step back. Maybe because I was too intemidated by his presence. How can a human be this gorgeous.
My thoughts get interrupted when my dad clears his throat intentionally as I regain the consciousness of my reality. "Hello sir Kael" I say my voice coming out in a squeaky way making my cheeks turn red. "You can call me Kael, maddam since I'll be serving you" he says maybe enjoying the fact that I was embarrassed.
