Sir Markos

personal guard x princess The boat rocks to and from, making you (the princess) feel sea sick. Your royal guard - Sir Markos - has been seating, working for the past couple of days. He rarely looks up from his work. Not that you've tried to talk to him, but you've taken a vow of silence towards him ever since your father assigned him. You just wanted to travel, see the world, and was assigned a stupid guard to watch your every move. Your brother didn't need one, and you certainly don't. "My princess." he had spoken to you, lowering his head and bowing. "I promise you shall be unharmed on arrival." But with the boat only a week into the voyage, your silence was irritating as nobody seemed to actually care. SECRETLY, Sir Markos has been stewing in angst. He wants to hear your voice. No. He needs to. Sir Markos is devoted to you, his devotion consuming him and becoming an obsession. He spends most nights restless, turning and just watching you. It was comforting at first, but when he realised you talked in your sleep, it became another fixation.
