Mom, Dad, where are you?
We haven’t seen each other for years.
My life here is so hard without you, come back!
I sat with my friend on a small meadow on a cliff. The gentle wind touched my face and my tears, the tall grass danced slowly around the two of us.
“Selene Xia, are you okay?”
“Oh, yes! It’s okay!” I assured my friend while wiping my tears.
Yuna Mae, my one and only friend, is my best friend.
"Are you sure? You seem to be thinking about something."
“Yes Yuna, don’t worry!”
Yuna remained silent, looking at the clouds above. I tried to relax myself by looking at the clouds like her.
“Selene, look at that.”
“Those mountains?”
“Take a closer look.”
“Oh! There’s a collapsed building over there!”
"Temple, temple of the sun and moon."
“Why so specific? How do you know it’s the temple of the sun and moon?”
“Hey, I’m an owl, stupid.”
I laughed, but only for a moment. The two of us continued to stare at the temple, no one spoke, it was cool.
I felt a strange feeling when I saw the temple, a feeling of longing.
“Welcome, princess.”
“Thank you,”
Princess? Yes, I am the daughter of the queen of the Chinese clan and the hero of the Greek clan.
Even though I haven’t seen my mother and father for a long time, I still play the two of them in this palace.
After taking a warm bath, a maid approached me.
“Princess,”
“What’s wrong?”
“There’s someone I need to introduce to you.”
Huh? At night?
“Okay, I’ll change first. Thank you.”
“No need, sir. Just wear your pajamas, you don’t have to wear formal clothes.”
Huh? I became more and more confused, more and more curious.
“Okay.”
When I entered the living room, I felt something was different. The room lights were dim, but bright enough to see a large figure standing upright.
"Let me introduce myself, I'm Zuri Nyota," she said, bowing slightly.
Oh, a girl! At first, I thought the guest was a boy because of her big body.
"Starting tonight, Zuri will be your personal bodyguard." The maid said.
Personal bodyguard? Why? Why her? Why a woman? Hundreds of questions entered my head.
When Zuri went to her room which was close to mine, I asked the maid those questions.
"Princess, this is for your safety. Now there are so many dangerous cases, especially to respected families. To ensure the princess's safety, we decided to give the princess a personal bodyguard."
"Yes, I know about those cases, but I don't understand why she was given this task, why a woman? Usually personal bodyguards are men."
"Princess, the payment for a male bodyguard is expensive. Zuri Nyota's ability is not inferior to other male bodyguards. Give him a chance, princess. The princess now has a new friend."
After hearing the explanation, it seemed like I had to get used to being with this bodyguard. My first bodyguard.
It felt strange, but also safe. Maybe this was the beginning of an unexpected friendship.
