Chapter 4

"W-what are you doing here?" I bit my lower lip when I stuttered, I could feel my cheeks turn hot from embarrassment as I look at him suspiciously.

I could not help but question him!

I heard someone clear her throat loudly from the back which made me stop the urge to ask him again but my eyes never left him.

I saw him smirking sexily and scrunching his nose while looking at me playfully before answering my question.

"Applying." He simply said.

"Applying?"

"Yes." He then again replied like it was nothing while I'm starting to go crazy here.

I squinted my eyes and deliberately showed him my middle finger, fast.

Butler Warren notice it and simply chuckled before he leaned down a bit and whispered "He seems to be applying to be your bodyguard." My brows furrowed.

"But he is a freaking businessman! He is rich! There's no need to work as a bodyguard!" I whispered back.

He just shook his head and went back to his original position.

That's right. The talk-of-town businessman seems to be applying to be my bodyguard!

What is he planning?!

I stared harshly at him

Why did he come back?! Isn't he staying there for good? But what bothers me the most is does he not feel guilty at all that he has the guts to show in front of me? Exactly in my mansion! My mansion!

All our attention was diverted to the man in his 40's walking out domineeringly from the elevator, wearing a three-piece business suit. Even though he is in his 40's, his handsomeness can still be seen and was obviously a popular guy at his younger age.

I pouted as I'm looking at the elevator. I wished I have an elevator in my room too!

I look at him, glaring rather as I pouted my lip, showing him that I wasn't happy towards him.

He saw my reaction that made him chuckle and gestured me to go in his side.

Still pouting, I went near my father and hugged his arm. "Father, I'm glad you came home early today! I've been eating alone for the past few days!" He patted my head and smiled.

"My princess has been suffering! Don't worry from today onwards you'll be eating with your fiance." My mood instantly went berserk but I know I can't show that to him so I pretend I'm pretending that I'm angry and let go of his arms.

He glances at the maids and looks at his secretary. His secretary nodded knowingly and motioned them to go away.

"Father! Don't you love me anymore? Why are you marrying me with our enemy?"

My father sighed heavily before answering me. "It's for our own good. Both countries are losing a lot with our fight. You should understand that if this continues both countries might end up for good." I snorted and seat after my father seat on his chair.

"But father, he must be ugly!" My attention is diverted when someone suddenly chokes on his food.

I glance at him and saw him drinking fast his water before glaring at me. I just raised my eyebrow at him and rolled my eyes.

My father chuckled. "Why do you think so? Your best friend is beautiful, right? Then he must be handsome!"

"No, my best friend is a narcissist. She always flexes her beauty. She said it runs on their blood but that prince doesn't! He wants to hide himself and pretend to be a bodyguard!" I really don't want to talk about this with strangers listening but my father is a busy person. This must be the last time I can talk to him this month.

"Princess, he just wants to protect himself and to develop your relationship." My father tried to explain.

"But father, won't I be the one in danger? He knew my identity and he could simply tell it to their country!"

"And what develops our relationship? What if I fall for someone thinking that it was him? No matter what his excuses are, it is nonsense! Nonsense!" My father grabs my hands and softly caresses them.

"My princess, I know who he is and if he'll do something bad then that's when I take action. The higher-ups of each country know your identities so you don't have to worry." He softly explained but I still did not stop.

"But father he knew me and I don't know him. That's unfair!"

"Let me tell you something about him. He was bullied before so he seldom talked with other people. He never went out in his room unless it is necessary. But all in all, he is good. He can take care of you. I can guarantee that, princess. Trust daddy." I pouted and grab my fork to eat the carbonara on my plate.

I can't persuade him at all. It seems that my father really trusts that man.

However, I find what he said suspicious. A prince being bullied? There's no way no one notices it and just lets it happen!

I sighed and shook my head. This is nonsense.

I glance at Butler Warren and told him to bring me my dessert.

"Anyway, princess, this is Domenicus one of your bodyguards I hired." I hummed as a response and continue eating.

"Princess, he is Domenicus." My father said like he was trying to say that I should have reacted violently because he is Domenicus.

"Yeah, I heard." I simply said and ate again.

I saw Father massages his head out of stress following a heavy sigh.

"So, where's the other three?" I asked and put down the fork and wipe my mouth with the napkin beside me.

"Oh, they'll be here tomorrow. And it's four sweety, so all in all you'll have five bodyguards including the prince." I nodded and wait for Butler Warren to appear.

Domenicus Jubluceus Saludares is the guy from earlier at the hospital.

He is my ex lover-enemy. We use to bully each other as he court me but things changed when he decided to suddenly date another person and left me behind with all the troubles he made.

"Here's your dessert, Young Miss." I mouthed thank you and put all my attention on my cake.

My father and Domenicus are talking about business which is I decided not to interfere and act like I don't know anything.

"Wait, he is hired? That fast? Father, should I not take part in choosing my bodyguards?" I suggested, hoping that maybe he'll not see through my plan.

My father smirks while Diomenicus smirk too. "Nah-uh. I know you." I snorted and pouted.

I never win against my father!

And besides, isn't he angry with him when he left? Why are they close now? Is this a prank?

I look at my father intently as he was smiling happily while talking with Diomenicus. My father doesn't usually talk with bodyguards that way. Even his secretary who stayed with him since day one has never been treated that way!

Could it be that he is the Prince or my father just like him so much? But how did my Father like the person who hurt me?!

But it was too obvious if he is the Prince! It was like deliberately telling that I don't have to guess and think too much because the Prince is just beside me!

But no, Diomenicus can't be the Prince.

Diomenicus is a bully and that's how we met. Besides his parents are just normal worker. His mother is a teacher and they said his father is a businessman.

And because of that, we always fight a lot. The fact that his mother is a teacher in our school and he is arrogant. He can do whatever he wants at school while my father is scary and I'm a brat I literally don't care if his mother is a teacher. And that's how we end up always fighting.

"Do you need something, Princess?" I glance at Domenicus before looking at my father again.

I stood up and decided to whisper it to him. "Father, as far as I remember you hate him? How come that you hired him and liked him too?!" He chuckled and shook his head.

"Well, if you don't know Princess, he is famous in the business industry! He is also good at martial arts! That kid is very talented that's why I agreed that he should be your bodyguard." He whispered before he motioned that I should go back to my sit.

"Besides, I heard that you'll be having your reunion. It's a good thing to have someone who is not suspicious besides you." I frowned at what he said and look at Butler Warren.

But he pretend he did not know anything and casually whistled.

Traitor!

"And what would be my fiance's reaction?"

"I'll talk to him. Don't worry." I nodded approvingly before dismissing the topic.

The dinner ended just like that and I went to bed because I know I'll be punished by Old Riana, the old lady at the end of the stairs a while ago.

I was about to close the light when someone knock at my door and did not say anything.

Usually, the maids and Butler Warren knock and tell what they have to say but this one did not say anything.

Who could it be?
