The Galadriel Tribe annually went on a trip that could be considered a short vacation. The short vacation was the period of the year where the mbers of the tribe were most relaxed. This ti, they were headed to a place in the centre of the forest with beautiful scenery.
The location had a fresh lawn that was rare to co by in the forest. A small creek went around the small timber villa. Not too far behind the building was a small beautiful waterfall. There were no dangerous animals in the forest nearby. There was no shortage of lawn space. There was an abundance of berries and mushrooms in the forest, and it wasnt dark in the forest. The place was a place in dreams for elves. However, the enormous two-floor villa here was the Galadriel Tribes property.
The land around it also belonged to the tribe despite the villa usually being inhabited. The areas around were also out of bounds. A pair of elven soldiers was specifically assigned to guard the place. Cleaners were also organised to clean the interior of the building.
The villa was only used once per year for a few days. Vyvyan brought Troy along the last few years. Ti spent with Troy there was her happiest days, for there was nobody and no work. She could be with her son from morning to night when they slept. She cooked for her son, watched him cheerfully run about on the lawn. Shed play in the lake outside with Troy if he didnt want to bath in the small tub. Then, shed place little Troy on her chest, wrap her arms around him and stargaze as they gradually fell asleep. To Vyvyan, vacations were a happy thing, but being able to spend ti alone with Troy was even more blissful.
Your Highness!
It was another year and another holiday for Her Highness. The horse carriage departed from the palace. The elves in the Imperial Capital crowded onto the sides of the street. They cherished the opportunity to see their Queen. Vyvyan pulled open the window of the carriage and waved at her citizens with a smile. The elves instantly rejoiced. There werent many opportunities to see Vyvyan, and she was gorgeous enough to drive every man crazy.
The elves considered the noble, pure and gentle Queen Vyvyan to be god. Being able to see her wave at them was basically the most exciting feeling in the world. They missed her from the first day she was absent.
The carriage left the Imperial Capital and headed toward the forest. Although a large group of Imperial Guards escorted the carriage on both sides, they couldnt enter the Galadriel Tribes forest without permission. In other words, there was only Vyvyan and Troy in the vicinity of the villa and also Lucia, who exclaid with surprise, when she saw the scene outside from inside the carriage.
Due to her height, Lucia sat in Troys lap. Troy sat by the window, which allowed Lucia to look outside. Those who were closer would be able to see Queen Vyvyan had a vein on her head that looked as if it was going to pop was despite the fact that she was wearing a smile. Vyvyans urge to kill was genuine.
Lucia looked outside and exclaid in a voice of surprise: Wow!! There are so many people!! I never knew there were so many people in the Imperial Capital. It sure is a spectacular scene. This is the first ti Ive seen Dad dressed that way, too. I never knew he could co with Her Highness. I didnt know Dad was so amazing.
Vyvyan pursed her lips: Youre father is my most trusted imperial guard officer, so he can stay with .
Lucia looked back at Vyvyan with a hint of eagerness. She asked, Can I be like that, too?
If you can beco an imperial guard, then yes. Nevertheless, the Imperial Guards are usually only n. I dont think females can handle their training regi, so I suggest giving up on your dream of becoming an imperial guard.
Vyvyan touched Lucias hand while wearing a comforting, yet ridiculing, smile. Her finger twitched, as her urge to crush the girls little head was genuine.
Lucia raised her head. She looked at Troy with a hint of disappointnt. Her gaze fuelled Vyvyans urge to crush her head. Vyvyan never expected Lucia to not give up and stick to her son as if she was his shadow instead.
Unfortunately, Lucia was out of chances, for as long as Vyvyan was still alive, shed never let her get close to Troy!
Ostensibly recalling sothing, Troy exclaid, Theres still the Shadow Squad. Do you rember the camp we saw that day? That camp is the Shadow Squads camp. That camp is inside the palace. Lucia, you can join the Shadow Squad if you want!
Vyvyan cussed to herself: The Shadow Squads training is even stricter than the imperial guards!
Vyvyan then hastily said to the two, The Shadow Squad is a squad in charge of protecting us from the shadows. Their requirents are a lot tougher than the imperial guards. Lucia, its a very tough lifestyle. Youve never seen the Shadow Squad outside, right? That is the result of their training.
Lucia hesitated for a mont before asking, Your Highness, if I beco a mber of the Shadow Squad, will I be able to live in the Imperial Palace? Will I be able to be by Troys side?
Mm Yes. If you beco a mber of the Shadow Squad, I will make you Troys bodyguard. That way, the two of you can always be together.
Vyvyan made a joke. She knew Lucia didnt fit the bill when she looked at Lucias soft and delicate skin. The Shadow Squad wasnt looking for those sorts of young girls. Lucia never trained physically before, so it was impossible for her to bear with such harsh training, hence why Vyvyan said that feeling confident. She was of the belief that Lucia couldnt make it even if she was given the chance. Thus, the only one who could protect Troy in the end was herself.

Years later
Shadow Squad Soldier Lucia Ecthe, reporting in to Your Highness! I shall assu the duty of protecting Prince Troy Galadriel as his bodyguard starting from today!
Vyvyan looked blankly at the young girl in the Shadow Squads uniform and cape. Lucia was down on one knee in front of her. A few years had passed. To her surprise, the young girl with pure-white skin and a weak physical constitution had donned the uniform of the Shadow Squad. She never imagined a young girl could go from an ordinary girl into a soldier within just a few years.
Lucia looked up Vyvyan and smiled. Technically, her smile was dedicated to the young man, who stood behind Vyvyan, wearing a smile. The two of them would probably have hugged each other if there was nobody around. Vyvyan smiled hesitantly. In a solemn tone, she said, All right. In that case, Lucia Echte, you shall be responsible for security in the Imperial Palace at night henceforth. You are to keep Troy Galadriel safe during the day.
I certainly will.
What made the young girl, who couldnt do anything, turn into such a resolute soldier in a few years ti? wondered Vyvyan, lost for words when she looked at Lucia.
Vyvyan suddenly felt that the young girl wasnt trying to snatch Troy from her but genuinely truly loved Troy enough to be willing to give up anything for him just as herself She was the sa as Elizabeth back then However, that was after the journey.
Going back to that vacation. Lucia was still young and delicate. She imrsed herself deep in thought in the imperial familys carriage
