POV: Christian
"This is getting ridiculous," I muttered under my breath to my guardian turned best friend above me.
I slammed the barbell in its rest above my head, sitting up abruptly.
Dimitri walked slowly around the bench to stand directly in front of me, blocking the flashes of inconspicuous cameras outside.
"How'd they find me?" I had gone out of my way to start training in the guardian's gym to avoid situations just like this.
Ever since Lissa's coronation I'd had a heard of cameras following my every move.
"You're the Queen's consort. Everyone wants to get a glimpse into your life." He shrugged, directing me to a room further in the gym where I'd hoped thered be more privacy.
"No one even cared to look in my direction before. I need my privacy. Do you know what it's like to go from being invisible, to suddenly being put under a microscope?"
His expression didn't change, he just raised an eyebrow.
I let out a humorless laugh, "Yeah, okay, I guess you do."
"Look, the way I see it, it's free publicity for you, Christian. Be smart about it. Use them to further your cause. They're following you anyway."
"I knew there was a reason I kept you around, Belikov."
I'd been training hard with the help of my guardian. I was nowhere near as athletic as him or Rose, but I'd been making steady progress.
I was building muscle and stamina, key components in my quest to get the Moroi fighting regime approved.
I stepped closer to the windows I had just moved away from. Staring dead into the photogs eyes I waved my hand in a friendly gesture, laughing when the training dummy he was standing next to lit up like a fiery Christmas tree under my gaze.
