Don’t Ever Let Her Suspect Anything
The following day, Rollo was invited to the training houses. Inside the house, Beocca, Brigitta and Rollo sat on couches, “I’m surprised that I am stepping my foot in this place once again.” Rollo said.
“Rollo, I need you to serve as bodyguard to Brigitta. You know the duties of bodyguards, don’t you? To be loyal and to protect their master with their life.” Beocca went straight to the point.
“Why do you need a bodyguard, Brigitta?” Rollo asked her.
“Why else do people get bodyguards? For protection of course.” She answered, “I do not feel safe and when I told Beocca, he told me that he trained you personally and that you are one of his best students.” Brigitta said. “This is why you are invited here.”
“I’m wondering how that will work, seeing that I have feelings for you.” He said thoughtfully.
“It will work perfectly. I trained you to learn how to control your emotions.” Beocca said.
“What’s the duration and the pay?” Rollo asked.
“Serve her for one year then we’ll see if we can renew the contract,” Beocca said while bringing out the contract he had drafted.
Rollo thought for a few more seconds and asked, “and the pay?”
“State your price?” Brigitta asked Rollo.
“I think I have enough money, I want something else,” she said.
“I can’t divorce Ragnar Marshall. This is what everyone wants but I can’t divorce him.” She guessed that Rollo wants to ask her this.
“Then there is another option, after one year, allow me to take you alone on a three days vacation.” Rollo demanded.
“That’s all?” Brigitta asked.
“That’s all.” Rollo answered.
“Vacation to where? Cause I can’t just let you take her anywhere,” Beocca said.
“Don’t you trust me, Beocca? How can I serve as her bodyguard if you don’t even trust me, huh?” He asked. “Well, she can choose any place of her choice but of course, it has to be out of the city?”
Brigitta and Beocca exchanged glances, Brigitta turned back to Rollo and said, “well, if I can choose, that’s okay.”
Rollo threw his hands up in the air and said, “we have an agreement then.”
Brigitta nodded. Beocca however thought that there is more to the vacation that Rollo wanted to take Brigitta to after one year. Well, he will be there then to secretly follow up.
Beocca went to reprint the contract so it can contain what Rollo wanted after his one year of service, after it had been printed, he handed it over to Rollo who signed it immediately.
“What about the bodyguard for my kids?” She asked.
“We’ll talk about it later,” he said and after a while, Rollo was lead outside. Afterall, his service begins the following day.
“I’ll protect the kids myself,” Beocca said after he and Brigitta are alone.
“Uncle, you already have too many responsibilities. I shouldn’t burden you with my kids, just get someone else you trusted.” She demanded.
“You won’t understand, your children means so much to me. Actually, we are trained not to have hundred percent trust in anyone, doesn’t matter whom the person is to you. For instance, I do not trust you a hundred percent so if peradventure you attack all of a sudden, I’ll be on gaurd?” Beocca said.
“Eventhough it’s not likely you will betray me but that is how our mindset is structured. Don’t fully trust anyone, not Ragnar Marshall, not even your own kids. Be wise in every of your dealings. I’ll protect the kids myself, you don’t have to worry about my responsibilities,” Beocca said.
“Okay then. Thank you so much, uncle. I’ll forever be grateful.” She thanked him.
“You are welcome. Let’s commence training.” He said and they both went to the training feild to commence training.
In the beautiful and majestic palace of Maridonna’s kingdom, Alex could be seen seated before Chester. They were both under a royal shed. Chester had a lean look and seemed unhappy. He had been like that for weeks. He misses his mum greatly and he hoped at every morning that his mom will appear.
“You need to adapt to this new reality, son. This is where you will grow, we are your family now.” Alex said to Chester It wasn’t the first time he will be saying that to the little one anyways so as usual, Chester looked away.
Alex took of the chicken before them and took a large bite, while chewing it happily, he stretched his hand that still had the chicken towards Chester but he refused it.
“Come on! Chester! Why do you even hate me? I have never maltreated you since you come here, have I? I have been a good father to you.”
As usual, Chester remains quiet. He was always mute as though he can’t talk.
“Are you really dumb?” Alex asked in wonder. Afterall, he had never heard Chester utter a word before. He wondered sometimes if Chester was truly dumb or if he was being mute intentionally.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Then a sound of a message entering his phone rang, he looked around to be sure no one was close, afterall, receiving messages and calls from foreign countries is prohibited and measures had been placed to ban it, nonetheless, some people still find their way to connect to the outside world but if caught, they would be in danger.
Seeing that the message was from Rollo, he immediately opened the content, it reads, “Brigitta just made me her bodyguard and it will last for a duration of one year but we had an agreement that I’ll take her for vacation for three days and that any country she chose is okay by me. So I guess you can come around then to pick her. I hope we still have our deal?”
Alex looked around again to be sure no one was watching, then he replied, “our deal is still intact but don’t ever let her suspect anything. One year isn’t far at all, as long as it’s sure I will have her, I’ll wait. Afterall, her son is still with me.” After replying Rollo’s message, he deleted it from his phone.
