Hunky.
That was the first word that she thought of when she first saw him. He was exceptionally well built. For a Demacian. She still doesn't remember how he had managed to get an upper hand on her. She was supposed to be the 'Sinister Blade'. Whatever Noxus demanded she would deliver. Then how come she had failed that day? Even she didn't know the answer to that. But now she was glad she had.
That day was brutal as ever. All the demacian soldiers with Garen was dead. Killed by her own men. They had completed their mission. While she failed on her own. All she had to do was sneak into their camp and kill their commander. While she was quickly discovered on her venture. She knew that didn't mean that her mission failed. Quite the opposite in fact. She had actually upped her odds by a mile. Now she could lure and single him out. And she was confident on her own skills. What surprised her wasn't the fact that he quickly cornered her in a cave. But rather the fact that when she had the kill, she didn't take it. She had seen his eyes. It wasn't one of hate. But rather of sadness. So she just put her blades down and walked away by giving him only one warning,"Next time you won't be so lucky pretty boy."
She really did want to spare him for reasons still unknown to her. But she had quickly been pushed up against the wall. And for the first time in the battle she thought that maybe she wouldn't be the victor here. She was waiting for his sword to come down onto her. When I it didn't came, she turned over given how she wasn't now pushing her into the wall. All he saw was his eyes locking onto hers."Maybe next time we'll actually don't have this war to fight for". That was the last thing exchanged between them after that.
Every Demacian remembers that day. How over 1200 men died on their camps. And the only one to return was the Crownguard himself. He was declared a failure and had been looked down upon since then.
But their story is far from over. In fact only after 3 months they were both champions of the now Institute of War. She knew why he was here. This was his redemption. He was here since Demacia wouldn't allow a failure to lead the charge. What she didn't expect was his constant banter in the Rift. It even spread outside of the Rift. She was here to spy on the other nations not make friends. And she doubt he was only trying to be her friend. Hell she could even tell on the Rift how he looked at her while she killed his teammates.
She wasn't new to the attention either. From her younger years she knew she had a charm in her. Definitely not to the point of Ahri or Evelynn but still had what she could describe as natural. People were in line to ask her hand ever since she was adopted into her family.
So it didn't surprise her a bit when Garen started to hang around her after the matches. He would slowly get to her. And she played her part hoping she would get info about Demacia.Of course that was the only reason. Not like you were into a two-goody shoes like him.
One day he just straight up spilled how much he liked her. Luckily enough she decided that she would actually give him a chance. She was actually on a dry spell anyway. She told herself that this was only for the sex and nothing more.
It wasn't.
Before she knew it she was dating Garen Crownguard. Her sworn enemy who she failed to kill. But there was an issu…..
"Kat? You up here? I saw the argument …. Oh?" her musings were interrupted by a high pitched voice.
"Can't you just leave me for two seconds. Also why are you here anyway? I thought you had a match." She didn't need to turn around to know that it was Lux.
"Well hello to you too. And just in case you forgot the match got canceled because of your incident in the lounge. You know, you actually didn't need to throw your sister across the room. It was a bit too much."
"She got what she deserved." Cold hearted bitch. Thinks she can judge me for my choices.
"Okay?! Timeout. Angry Kat is no fun. This simply can't do. You gotta cheer up otherwise I'm re-reading the love letter you sent to my brother."
"Fine. You win this time." Not like I had a choice anyway. When she decides something, nothing can change her mind. Literally nothing. Also there's the embarrassing thing about my letter that I can't stand to hear one more time. Damn Ahri had to mess with the letter along with Lux.
"Yay! We're totally going shopping then. That always brightens up your mood."
"More like hate myself for living. I don't see the point though. I mean I rarely wear those anyway." More like never. This is the only pair of clothes I wear around the Institute.
"But you do when you go out with Garen don't you? Besides you're the perfect model for the clothes I'm gonna buy. So that gives me a reason to know if the clothes are good enough or not. Also you really are an eye candy in those linge….." She stopped herself from saying any more embarrassing stuff. She doesn't think before she she says those stuff.
"Yeah got it, princess. You totally check your best friend out in public places. Not really a royal thing to do you know?"
"Best friend?"Slipped my tongue?! Nah. But gotta play it cool. Can't let her embarrass me about this.
"Yeah sure. I mean you always call me that don't you? I think it's time I actually accept your request." Smooth.
"But you never ack…. You know what? We're killing daylight. Let's go."
Oh dear god. Kill me before the clothes do it for you.
"And one more thing. What did I tell about calling me a princess?"
Yep definitely regret ever getting to know this Crownguard.
