"Princess Cagalli, Sir Seiran is moving in in one day!" One of the maids exclaimed excitedly as the blonde's jaw hit the ground and her eyes became as big as the saucers.

"What?" She shrieked in disbelief, hands holding the maid's collar, shaking her in a very violent way. Her unexpected reaction startled not only the maid but also her bodyguard, who was standing behind her.

"I… I mean, Sir Seiran is moving in tomorrow, Princess. What is wrong?" The poor maid turned pale as she saw Cagalli's eyes nearly popped out of her orbits. Every of her hair seemed to freeze as her entire body shook slightly. "Are you alright? You don't look so well, Princess."

Not answering the horrified maid, Cagalli let go of her collars and slapped her own face, hard.

"This is a dream… Only a dream…" She murmured under her breath, still shocked. She hadn't allowed that bastard to move in, had she? And she would never allow him to flirt with her, no way! However, he was still her fiancé, and that was an inevitable truth that she could never change.

"I'm not letting him in!" She roared at the top of her lungs, as to get over the nerves she was currently experiencing, and therefore made a strong impact on everyone's eardrums.

"But he said that he had the permission from the Emperor…" The girl announced with a trembling voice while Cagalli was snarling at her. "I am sorry Princess, but I think I must leave…" She excused herself quickly and ran away before being eaten alive by the fierce princess.

"Uhm… Do you think you are okay?" Athrun asked her with a voice that was half worried and half scared. He sweated as the girl turned to him with bloodshot eyes. Oh no, not again…

"The hell I am!" She screeched into his ear and stormed away causing the whole palace to shake. It's a miracle that I survived after one week playing the role of her bodyguard… He thought wiping a big sweat drop away from his forehead.

A black haired guard was on his patrol around the palace of princess Stellar. Whistling some sad tunes to himself, he made his way toward the princess's room. His heart sank down as he recalled every of the sad memories he had. Mother… Sister…

Suddenly, he heard quiet footsteps heading toward him, and got startled. Thinking it was an intruder, he hid behind a big marble pillar to observe the stranger. In the darkness, his red eyes flashed up dangerously like a beast's. When the stranger was near enough, the guard jumped out abruptly and grabbed his/her mouth. A small gasp was heard, and he could feel the body shivering in his arms. Absolutely not an intruder… Letting go of the stranger, the guard took a clear look at her face. She was pretty beautiful with sparkling violet eyes and blonde hair that covered the trace of her face. Somehow, she strangely looked like Princess Cagalli, and that could only mean one thing.

"Prin… Princess Stellar…" Shinn could feel his heart stopped beating for a second. He was in utter shock that couldn't help staring at the girl, who was at the same time gazing at him with frightened eyes, too. Forgetting that he was currently holding her, Shinn stood still like a frozen statue. Sweat was wetting his hands and his back.

"Who… Who are you?" Gathering all of her guts, Stellar managed to ask with a trembling tone while swallowing a hard lump in her throat. Her heart was pounding loudly in her rib-cage. She was rather surprised that she didn't have a heart-attack despite almost being choked by the stranger.

"I… I am terribly sorry Princess! It's just that… I… I thought you were an intruder…" Shinn stammered ever so badly, and looked down, seeing that he was holding the girl's thin shoulders, he let go promptly with a jump. His back was soaked with his own sweat and so were his hair and his hands. "I shall take my leave…" He mumbled quickly and turned away as fast as he could, he was at the verge of running away.

"Wait!" Stellar's voice suddenly caught him back. He froze in his current posture. Swallowing hard, Shinn slowly turned his head around to face the princess.

"Yes Princess?" His lips curved into a wry smile while he shut his eyes completely, not daring to look at the blonde standing in front of him.

"Uhm… You are a guard, right?" The little girl asked reluctantly, cocking her head to one side. Opening his eyes slowly, Shinn looked at Stellar with slightly surprised eyes.

"Yes I am." He answered shortly, wondering what the princess wanted from him. He did apologize, and it was an accident anyway, so there was no reason for her to throw a tantrum at him, right? Besides, she didn't look like a hothead, not at all…

"So… Can you spend some times with Stellar? Stellar can't sleep, and has nothing to do at the moment." The little maiden demanded looking away blushing slightly. Asking a total stranger to spend some times with was awkward to her, and she couldn't help but blush for that stranger was a boy. Well, at least all boyish, not like that bodyguard of her sister. (A/N: Ooppss… Sorry I didn't mean to insult Athrun…)

"Princess Stellar? What do you want me to do again, please?" Shinn's eyes widened in disbelief as there was a buzzing in his ears. Never could he imagine that the princess would ask him for something like that.

"Uhm… Stellar means… Stellar wants you to spend some times with Stellar, but if you are busy then it's okay." The girl answered bending down, playing with her fingers. After quite a long while, recovering from his shocked state, Shinn gave her an assuring smile.

"Yes, I would be honored to talk to you, Princess." He replied, walking toward the princess. Upon hearing that, Stellar looked up from her bare feet and returned his smile with a toothy huge grin. They walked side by side to the garden. The faint moonlight was shining over everything and under the weak light, the garden seemed so peaceful. His cold and hard heart softened when his eyes were taking glances overall the entire place.

"Are you cold, Princess?" He asked the girl softly, but then he couldn't locate his mouth back when he turned to her. Under the moon, she looked like an angel in her white robe. Her hair was flying in the breeze, her eyes looking at him tenderly. Shinn was totally freaked out by her beauty and couldn't take his eyes off her graceful face or her slim figure. He knew he was being rude, but just couldn't hold himself back.

"No, Stellar isn't. Uhm… Mister… May Stellar know your name?" The princess asked shyly while blushing slightly under his gaze. She turned away a little, didn't dare to look at him or his flashing eyes anymore. His eyes are so enticing…

"My name is Shinn Asuka, Princess…" He replied, also turning away, feeling some heat rushed to his cheeks. Awkward silence was the only thing that was held between them…

The next morning…

"Sir Seiran!" All the maids and servants came out to greet their 'soon-to-be master'. A young man was standing at the entrance of the palace, looking around with twitched blue eyes.

"Why isn't Cagalli here to greet me?" He asked a servant with an aggressive tone while brushing some low strands of hair back. His question sure annoyed the servant, but he just answered respectfully:

"Princess Cagalli doesn't feel well today, so she is staying in, Sir." Yuuna nodded and without any other words, he walked into the palace, followed by a heap of servants carrying his stuffs. Walking directly to Cagalli's room, he entered without even knocking on the door, thinking it was not needed for he was her fiancé, and for god's sake, in front of his eyes was… Cagalli… with only her undergarments on! Her delicious looking body really did freak him out. Not being able to take his eyes off her, Yuuna slowly moved near her while Cagalli still didn't notice his illegal presence.

"Cagalli dear…" Wrapping his arms around her shoulders, Yuuna whispered into Cagalli's ear, making her jump out of her skin.

"Arrgghhh…" Cagalli couldn't help but let out a scream in horror. Her scream startled not only Yuuna but also everyone in the palace. After recovering her composure, Cagalli pushed the purple haired pervert away forcefully, causing him to stumble back. In no time, she picked up her clothes and hid her body behind those, eyes still shooting the intruder death glares.

"What the hell are you doing in here?" The blonde hissed through gritted teeth while her face was turning as red as a tomato. Her entire body was shaking and her eyes were narrowing dangerously at Yuuna.

"What? Can't your fiancé hug you?" The purple haired bastard retorted smirking hatefully and crossed his arms. But just as he leaned on the doorframe, a firm hand flew out and grabbed the back of his neck.

"What do you want?" A cold voice echoed, much to Cagalli's relief. Turning around slowly, Yuuna finally came face to face with the owner of the voice, who appeared to be a blue haired guy with half of his face covered by a ridiculously large pair of sunglasses.

"I should be the one who ask you that question. What are you doing here?" He snapped back, but his voice trailed a bit, only a little, however it was more than enough to reveal the truth that he was scared anyway.

"He's my bodyguard who will protect me from perverts like you." Cagalli answered sarcastically before the bodyguard could say anything. "And now Sir Seiran, may you get out so that I can finish changing? I'm starting to feel cold."

"Fine…" Yuuna muttered angrily while stomping out. But before he was away, Yuuna turned his head at the spoilsport, who was apparently glaring at him, and narrowed his eyes wickedly.

Fcking bastard, you dare to ruin my business, you have to pay for the consequences… He thought while clenching his fists.

"Are you okay?" Stepping into the room, Athrun asked his princess with a worried tone, "Did he do anything to you?"

Shaking her head, Cagalli abruptly dropped herself on her bed as she let out a sigh in relief. Closing her eyes, she murmured:

"Thank you, Alex. Without you, I don't know what he might have done…"

"It's my duty, Princess, so just... Nah, I'd better go now…" Athrun replied modestly, nodding his head and turned away on his heels, his face flushed a bit at the sight of Cagalli's half naked form. Snapping her eyes open, Cagalli called:

"Hang on there!" And as a result, almost immediately, Athrun stopped on his track and turned his head toward her:

"Yes?" He wondered why she called him back as he arched his eyebrows. He saved her from the pervert; he was done, so why did she bother to call him back? Not to mention that she was still changing… And Athrun blushed a little deeper at the thought.

"Can you… Uhm… Wait here while I go and change in the bathroom? You see… I mean… I just want you to watch out for me if he returns…" She bent her head down, her voice trailed. Never before had she been so embarrassed. Nearly naked in front of two men? But anyway 'Alex' was much nicer than the pervert; well; at least he didn't jump at her like a hungry carnivore jumping at its prey.

"Err… Alright…" Athrun hesitated, but then he nodded his head tiredly and walked toward the door. Leaning on it, he closed his eyes as the princess walked past him into the bathroom, still having her body half-covered by the clothes.

Such a good body she has… I wonder if… No Athrun Zala! Snap out of it! You are an assassin and you are here to complete your mission, not to flirt with the girl! You are so doomed! Maybe you are turning into a pervert, just like that bastard…Being a gay… Maybe is better…Dmmit! Athrun slapped himself on the face, which was totally red at the thought. But however hard he tried, Cagalli's clothe-less form just kept on playing over and over again in his head. Luckily, right when he was on the verge of banging his own head against the wall, the bathroom door flung open.

"What are you doing?" The girl blinked innocently at the posture of her bodyguard. His head was millimeters away from the wall, one of his hands was clutching his head, the other was on the wall, his eyes were shut tightly and his eyebrows were in a knot. Athrun stopped in no time as he heard the voice of his princess. Being thought as a gay was bad enough; he didn't and would never want to be thought as a maniac also.

"Eh heh heh, it's nothing Princess, now shall we go?" He laughed nervously, standing straight again while trying to make the girl forget about his weird behavior.

"You sure you're fine?" Cagalli asked again, being concerned by the strange look on his face. He seemed a bit flushed.

"Yes, I am perfectly fine! Let's go!" He grinned dryly, stepping out of the room. Following her bodyguard, Cagalli dragged a small smile out of her lips. Thanks a lot, Alex…

To be continued.
