Honoka Kousaka is the Princess of Otonokizaka and is loved by all of her royal subjects. The King and Queen decided to hire a personal bodyguard so Honoka would remain safe at all times. They looked for someone who would be worthy to guard their eldest daughter. They never found one warrior who was worthy or strong enough to guard her. They gave up on their search and went back to the castle and decided to go and watch some the guards train. They looked at all the knights that were currently training. The King was watching over all the trainees, but one trainee caught his attention. He was looking at a young girl with straight black hair. He saw her moving with fast moves and fast reflexes. The Queen looked at her husband and saw that he looked focus on something. She looked in the direction that he was looking in. She was able to see what he was looking at. She saw the young trainee defeating most of her fellow trainees. Both of them looked at each other and gave each other a nod. They soon headed back to the throne room. They called for the captain of the guard. The head guard showed up and kneeled before the King and Queen as a sign of loyalty.
You called for me your majesties?" The guard asked
"Yes we did. We require your help" The King said
"What is it that you need your majesties?" The guard asked
"We were watching the guard trainees and we saw one girl with straight black hair defeating most of the trainees in her class with ease. Do you know who that warrior is?" The Queen asked
"You must be talking about Umi Sonoda, She's considered a prodigy in any sort of fighting style" The guard said
"That's interesting, would you tell her to come to the throne room?" The King asked
"Right away your majesties" The guard said
The guard left and after a few minutes later they saw Umi entered the throne room. They looked at her and saw that she looked nervous.
"Y-y-you c-c-called f-f-for m-m-me, y-y-your m-m-majesties" Umi stuttered
"No need to feel nervous" The Queen said
Umi got herself together and tried to look more relaxed.
"Now we are aware that you're the best the trainee in the entire squad" The King said
"W-well I guess I am, I mean I didn't want to brag about it" Umi said
"Well Umi we decided to assign to a new positon" The Queen said
"A-a-a new position? What is it?" Umi asked
"We want to assign you as a personal bodyguard to our first daughter, Princess Honoka" The King said
Umi froze and stayed still for what felt like several minutes. Umi couldn't believe that the King and Queen had assigned her as a personal bodyguard to Princess Honoka, their first daughter.
"Are you sure you want me to guard your daughter? I'm sure there are others who are better suited for the job than me" Umi said
"We've looked everywhere for someone but we couldn't find anyone but when we saw you sparring in the courtyard and easily taking out most of the trainees we were convinced that you were the one that we were convinced that you were the one that we were looking for" The Queen said
"W-w-well if you think this is something that I should do then I'll accept your request" Umi said
"Excellent! I'll call in our daughter so you two can meet" The King said
The King called a maid and told her to fetch Princess Honoka. The maid bowed and left to get Honoka. A few minutes later a girl with brown hair with a side ponytail entered the room. The girl had an orange gown on. She also had a blue tiara on her head. Umi looked at the Princess that she would be guarding from now on. In her opinion the Princess was a very cute girl.
"Did you call me dad?" Honoka asked
"Yes, I want you to meet Umi Sonoda and from now on she'll be your personal bodyguard from now on" The King said
"Oh! Really?!" Honoka said with excitement
"Yes, now please introduce yourself to Umi" The Queen said
Honoka nodded and turned towards Umi and gave a bow to her. Umi felt embarrassed to have someone of a higher power bow to her.
"It's nice to meet you Umi" Honoka said in a polite manner
"L-l-likewise" Umi said
Umi was told that she would be following Honoka around where ever she went. Umi was still nervous and had doubts that she would be able to do this job but it was request from the King and Queen themselves so she had to accept the job. Honoka stopped walking which made Umi stop walking as well. Honoka turned over and looked Umi with a smile on her face.
"How about I give you a tour of the castle?" Honoka asked
"Sure that would be nice, please lead the way Princess Honoka" Umi said
"Just call me Honoka" Honoka said
"But that would be a sign of disrespect!" Umi said
"Not if it's a request from a royal heir herself so it's ok. I insist that you call me Honoka" Honoka said
"O-okay if you insist" Umi said
"Let me hear you call me Honoka instead of Princess Honoka" Honoka said
"H-H-Honoka" Uni stuttered
"Good, now that that's settled let me be your tour guide for the castle" Honoka said
Umi knew her way around part of the castle but not all of it. If she was gonna be Honoka's bodyguard then she needed to know her way around the castle. Honoka led Umi down the castle hallways. She led to the kitchen and the dining room. She led her to the library and Umi was fascinated by all the books in the library. She led Umi to her room and showed her what the inside look liked and Umi was surprised that the Princess' room was so big. There were curtains at her window and they were open right now. If you were to look out the window you could get a perfect view of the garden.
The Princess also had some drapes that were hanging over her bed. She would close them when she would go to bed. Honoka led Umi to the room that was next to hers. It was also a big room but it was a relatively smaller than Honoka's room.
"This where you'll be staying from now on" Honoka said
"Thank you very much Honoka" Umi said
"Your welcome" Honoka said
It was evening and everyone was going to bed. Honoka and Umi were going to their rooms to turn in for the night.
"Good night Umi" Honoka said
"Good night Honoka" Umi said
The two girls went into their rooms and went to bed.
