The princesses eye widened as they shot to his “Con con cea ling” she stammered

“Yes” Jay’s voice was gentle but firm “Will you trust me?” and he gestured to her sleeve.

The princess remained quiet for a little bit then gave the women quick glances, they all seemed to come to the same conclusion without words.

Rota’s voice came out clear and resolved “I know, who you are Captain Jay, at least what your service record says, you impressed my father, you know. You are to date, the only guard the King himself requested to be on his protection. It was him who transferred you from the military to the guard and at his request you be made captain straight away. You got the highest scores in all your practical exams and still hold most of the shooting records. You alone have complete 2/3 of all the electives available to you in the Military and are probably more qualified than most Generals. Your team under you are considered the best trained unit available in the capital and. . you have only just turned 22.”

Captain Jay was taken back a little but couldn’t stop the smirk on his face when he said “Yeah I get bored easy”

Like he needed an excuse!

His eyes dropped to the Princess’s sleeve.

She let out a sigh “I was upset at my Fathers news and was seeking comfort. I went to Nanny Eslbeth’s rooms, I know I would not find her but . . . I just  . . . needed to be there. While I was there, I noticed that her favourite painting that always hung in her room was different, someone had added to the painting. It would hard to spot but I had always loved that painting too and we used to play I Spy with it. The royal crest had been added, and words in the clouds an in the grass. My name  . . . Rota . . . Peekboo . . . find her and love bet. That was my name for her when I was young. When I took the painting off the wall I found this from behind the canvas.” She removed a thick envelope from her Sleeve, she hesitated before passing it to Captain Jay but instead of releasing it when he went to take it she held firm. He glanced up puzzled. “I am trusting you but what you are about to read will change everything”

She released the letter and turned back to her tea.

Jay opened it flicked through all the pages and then began to read the letter to Rota from her Nanny.

He looked up at Princess Rota with an unreadable expression on his face then continued reading, when he had finished, he flicked through the other papers, they were someone’s progress reports or classes and training they were all dated in the month of May and written in the same hand, Fifteen reports in total but they were supposed to be consecutive, there were some years reports missing. According to the notes, this person was incredibly clever getting good grades consistently in all her subjects, and competent in most styles of hand-to-hand combat and a few weapons. They also held the record for all three runs, whatever that meant.

He put them back on the table within the Princesses reach, he got up and started pacing the room as he thought “Princess Rota, do you believe this account to be correct?”

Rota took a deep breath before she answered “I haven’t really had time to wrap my head around it yet but I can’t think why my nanny would have made it up. She was there for my birth, she started as my mother’s maid before she requested to become my Nanny. She was always a truthful person who always tried to do right by everyone. I can’t believe she of all people held this to herself all these years.”

“This changes things, Princess Rota, would you approve an undercover mission to go and get your . . . sister”

There was a pause

“Yes, Captain Jay, she must be found”

“You do realise that if this account is indeed true, she being older is the true heir of the throne”

“Yes and if those are her progress reports, she shall make a fine ruler too. It can’t be helped . . . . . she is the rightful heir. I couldn’t possibly take the oath knowing it was not my rightful place. . . . .  I just hope she is a kind as she is competent.”

  • The Princess and her Guard   Chapter 105 - The Dream

    Mia had a weird dream that night, Mia was being led by someone who was familiar but she didn’t know who. It was a young woman dressed all in white, the white woman lead her into a dome and on every surface they were moving images or footage playing. Each scene contained a certain woman as the focal point. All the different scenes all starring the same woman. Mia gasp as she took in each new scene. The woman picked up and tightly hugged a young girl who had just fallen and hurt herself, the woman solving a dispute between two boys, the woman running with all her might towards a fight, the woman laughing with a friend, the woman standing strong while under attack from an unknown threat, the woman rushing to the rescue of a teenage girl, the woman taking a shot at her enemy. There were so many to see. And each footage or scene seamed to loop. Playing over and over again. It was strange Mia couldn’t place any of these scenes but each one felt like dejvu, like she h

    Once they were back in their apartments, Jay stood Mia beside their bed and he removed her dress and took her hair out. Mia could feel the anticipation coursing through her heating her core. Jay then knelt before her and removed her ankle boots and holster. He then peeled her tight black pants down so she was just in her underwear. He ran his hand up the inside of her leg. He then removed his weapons belt and suit. “Have I fully disarmed you” he asked as he kissed across her collar bone. “Almost” she said as she felt her body stirring from his touch. “You were so good tonight” he claimed her lips stealing her breath and igniting the fire she felt in her core. He broke away, running his fingers down her back kissing down her neck, she didn’t even realise that her Bra was no longer there, he took her first nipple into his mouth and a sigh escaped her lips. His hands wondered lower pulling her undies down. Once they were out of the way he picke

There were a few whispers as people took in Mia’s dress. They all stood before their seats until Rota had declared the Banquet to begin. Jay then helped Queen Rota into her seat and then Mia, taking his seat next to Mia.The food was delicious and between courses Rota took Mia around the tables to officially introduce her to the people of Ziion.

After Rota announced Jay in his new position as Ziion’s Royal Ambassador. Everyone cheered.

Mia was also given two senior attendants that could help her with everything from hair and make up to who she might meet at the next event and the traditions behind the events. She found it exhausting, but it fascinated her too.Dora had prepared Mia as much as she could for her meeting with the Mercern Ring. Jay had also spent some time with Dora, talking over plans about Mercer and questioning Octave. It turned out that the girls on the other planets were on loan to other smuggling rings and that the problem was a lot bigger that they had first thought. For every one of the GPS trackers, they could see, there might be more girls that they couldn’t see.Octave was stripped of all his wealth and it was directed straight into Ziion’s Royal Ambassador’s account.

    Jay and Mia had arrived back to their apartments ten minutes before the dress makers Evie and Skyla arrived with a heavy suite case between them.“Hi, come in” greeted Mia “How did you go?”“Oh, we came up with some really good ideas but I need to see how they feel on you, and if you can move in them”“Ok sure,”The girls set up, they pulled out three dresses that were partially finished. One was a deep maroon, another a deep blue and the last was black.“Wow those colours are really dark,” said MiaYes, they are suitable for a queen and they reflect your true warrior abilities. I wanted your dresses to give you a edge of danger but if they are too dark we can lighten them with chiffon layers, beading and embroidery.”“They are perfect,” said Jay “these are exactly what you need to wear before the Mercern Ring, they convey power and an edge of danger.

  • The Princess and her Guard   Chapter 100 – Hunter's past

    Hunter took a big breath, “Yeah. There was another guy that started in the same class as me but his Father was 2nd in command of the Viv military, as you can imagine he couldn’t fail, instructors spent twice as much time getting him through than anyone else. I seen him take the place of other brilliant soldiers when he was incapable. No one in the class could pass or rank up until he had. It was a complete Joke. He lorded it over everyone because of his success, he didn’t even see that he was holding us back. The brass finally got sick of pandering to him and finally let me rank up before him but they got raked over the coals and he was made commander too. We were both sent out on a mission together.” Hunter stopped to rub his hand over his face “He led his team straight into a trap, they were captured and tortured while he bargained for his freedom with classified information. It was two days before my team could get into a position to rescu
