At a magnificent palace in ORB…
"I told you I don't need a stupid bodyguard! I can take care of myself!" Yelled a furious blonde haired Princess. She was a beautiful yet angry girl with silky blonde hair and keen amber eyes. Everything of her was just perfect, her face that was as beautiful as Aphrodite, her body that was as slim and curvy as a model's, her brain power that was really good, her strength that could even match a guy, her voice that could delude even the most neglect guy when she was in good manner, but not her mood. Try to piss her off and you won't be able to see the sunlight ever again.
"But Princess, this is the Emperor's idea, because you are a Princess so that you will need to be protected with strict security. Please understand…" Her nanny, Myrna said with a big sweat drop on her forehead. But the stubborn Princess just turned away and pouted.
"Anyway, tomorrow you will have an interview with all candidates and decide who will be your bodyguard. Of course that one will have to be checked after being chosen. Finally, there will only be one person who is as good to be your bodyguard. Whether you like it or not, this is the Emperor's order and you have to obey, Princess." The old nanny said and then went out, leaving the angry girl in her room alone.
"Cagalli, you have to find some solution for this stupid plan… You can never let any stupid, ugly, crazy guy follow you all day. Think Cagalli, think…" She muttered to herself and then fell asleep on her bed. Cagalli woke up again when it was late in the afternoon; she glanced at the pendulum-clock in a corner of her room.
"My, it 5:30 already? I don't think I slept that much! Well, maybe I can't do anything about father's plan, but… yeah; I won't choose any bastards from the candidates." She mumbled and smirked evilly at her plan.
Meanwhile…
"Hey Athrun, have you got everything prepared?" A green haired boy asked a blue haired one.
"Ah, yeah, tomorrow I will be off very soon." Athrun replied with a smile and pointed at his luggage. The green haired blinked, then he asked:
"You don't seem to bring much, do you?"
"Ah yeah, I guess I will have to buy the suitable clothes when I arrive. But don't worry Nicol, I will definitely be alright." Athrun grinned in an assuring way. Nicol only nodded and went to his bed to take a book.
"Hey aren't you hanging out with Yzak and Dearka? Where are they?" Athrun asked while he came to his bed and sat down across his green haired friend.
"I don't know, this morning, after you left, I came back and tried to wake them up, but they just ignored me. Yzak even threatened me that I wouldn't see the world again if I kept on bothering him. They said that thanked to you, they couldn't sleep well, so I just left for the music room and practice some piano. I really had a good time with Bach's compositions. Then when I went back to our room, they already left. That's strange Dearka left the room, maybe the two of them have received a new assignment." Nicol answered and started to read the book.
"Is that so…" Athrun closed his eyes and lay down on his bed freely and stretched.
"Looks like you are tired. Have dinner early and then get some sleeps, I'm sure you too didn't sleep well last night, eh?" The green haired boy suggested while his eyes were still attaching to the book.
"I guess you are right. Wanna have dinner with me?" Athrun smiled and asked, but his friend just shook his head slightly and replied:
"I don't feel like eating right now."
"Okay, so see you around." The blue haired said and stood up, then went out.
The evening passed quickly and peacefully, it was already the day that Athrun had to take his leave.
"Bye Athrun, good luck." Nicol said smiling and waved at Athrun who was getting on the carriage.
"Bye Nicol, take care. If you receive any new assignment, make sure we meet again." Athrun waved back and recommended.
"Uhm, sure." The green haired said without hesitating and continued to wave.
"Then, see you." Athrun laughed and got in, then the carriage set off, bringing him to his new place of assignment. Nicol stood still and stared at the leaving carriage, then he went in and was informed by a maid:
"The Emperor's advisor calls you, sir."
"Oh, okay. I wondered what my new mission is." He thanked the maid and then rushed to the mysterious masked man's room.
öööö
"Didn't you hear that? The Princess wants a bodyguard. I entered for the interview that will be held this afternoon and sure enough, I will be her bodyguard." A blue haired boy walking in a crowded market heard someone said so and that caught his attention.
"Excuse me, but did you just say that the Princess wants a new bodyguard?" He turned around to face the gossiping man and asked politely.
"Yeah, the deadline to be entered is right 12:00 am today at the security office, and in the afternoon, the candidates will gather at the Princess's palace to have an interview with her. The ones who are chosen will have a test and then only one man will be her bodyguard." The man explained and looked at the stranger with scorning eyes. "I suggest you not entering this; this is only for the ones who are extremely strong and good at martial arts and shooting, swordsmanship… So if you don't want to be others' laughing-stock, you'd better not enroll."
"Thank you for the information and you advice, but I think I should try…" He replied calmly and then left. It was 11:30 in the morning and he had to speed up or else he wouldn't be able to make it in time.
What a stroke of luck I'm having! Right when I don't know how to approach the target easily… He thought and ran as fast as he could. At five to twelve, he was at the security office and was the last one to enroll for the interview. Of course he was using his fake name: Alex Dino.
Meanwhile…
"I'm not going to wear a dress for the interview!" A blonde girl yelled and jumped around in her room and her nanny with a stuffy gown couldn't catch her.
"Princess, this is the Emperor's order. You must wear it, because you are a noble Princess!" The nanny also yelled and the blonde paused. Taking her chance, Myrna caught the stubborn princess and tried her best to take the princess's shirt off. The blonde struggled violently, but finally, as always, she lost against the nanny and after 15 minutes, she looked all pretty in her gown. The gown was light green, her favorite color, and it was sleeveless, but not so revealing. She looked mysterious in it, but really, Cagalli herself didn't think so.
"Oh honey… you look so pretty." A purple haired man came in without knocking the door and commented. He was Yuuna Roma Seiran, the son of the Prime Minister, an arrogant, aggressive, perverted bastard, and indeed, Cagalli hated him as if he was a freak or a devil or even a monster.
"The very first rule of etiquette is knocking on the door before you come in, you didn't learn?" She huffed but managed to keep her temper.
"Ah, sorry sorry…" He smiled a smile that he thought was seductive, but Cagalli only found it disgusting. "Okay, but I have to admit that you look extremely beautiful in that gown."
"Why, thank you." She answered sarcastically and continued: "But did you just call me 'honey'? What are you thinking?"
"Sooner or later, you will be my wife, because we are now engaged, so what's wrong with 'honey'? Or if you don't like, then I will just call you 'baby', eh?" Yuuna reasoned and came near Cagalli, but her nanny jumped in between the two and glared at the purple haired freak:
"Excuse me, sir, but Princess hasn't said that she's your fiancée, so please observe etiquette." She said protectively but politely.
This damn woman is really annoying! He thought angrily, but finally, he put on a smile:
"Oh sorry, I'm just kidding." Then he quickly went out of the room. After he closed the door, the two sighed in relief.
"Thank you Myrna, you really saved me." She said and sat down on her bed.
"Err, Princess, Lady Lacus is waiting for you at the garden." The nanny said. Immediately, the blonde jumped up and launched to the door.
"Please act gently, Princess, you are wearing your gown and…" But the brunette couldn't finish her sentence. The clumsy girl stepped on her gown and slipped. The woman ran to her in no time and asked:
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm alright." The girl answered frowning because of the pain at her butt. She then stood up and limped to the garden where her friend was waiting. Among the fragrant flowers in the garden sat a beautiful pink haired girl, and standing behind her was a brunette.
"Hi Lacus." Cagalli called and made her way to the girl. She turned around and grinned:
"Cagalli… I've been waiting for you. Why are you so late?"
"Err… Myrna forces me to put this gown on and it took me so long." Cagalli replied blushing. Lacus noticed her blushed and giggled:
"Sit down. I heard that you will have an interview with some guys to choose a bodyguard this afternoon, right?"
"Yep, that's why I have to wear this stupid thing." She replied grouchily and sat down beside the pink haired.
"I think that this looks good on you." Lacus chuckled and continued: "You don't want to have a bodyguard, eh?"
"Of course I don't. I'm 16 years old and I can take care of myself, but father just insists on protecting me with those dense guys. I wonder if they can even stand a punch of mine." She answered gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.
"Okay okay, calm down. But I guess they are not too bad, Mister Kira is an example, right?" Lacus said soothingly and rubbed the blonde's back and turned to her bodyguard with a wink.
"Whatever." The princess said and pouted, and Lacus laughed at her childish behavior. Just then a maid entered the garden and informed the blonde that it was time for the interview and that all the candidates had gathered at the yard.
"See you then." She smiled and stood up.
"Okay, I'm going back now, good luck." Lacus grinned and waved at the leaving blonde. "Mister Kira do you think that she will get a bodyguard?"
"I'm not very sure, but I think she will." The brunette answered and they left the palace.
D… it! I will have to torture them hard so that they won't dare to be in any other events… The Princess thought evilly as she headed for the interview room.
To be continued.
