Chapter 29: Princess Amora's Bodyguard
Princess Amora reacted quickly, "Why only part time? I want him to be a full time bodyguard!" Princess Amora exclaimed in a firm tone, unintentionally showing her true grumpy nature. Despite her previous attempts to act like a graceful and gentle royal princess, she showed her true colors. She's just doing all this to get Oscar's attention. Who knows how she will react when she finds out that Oscar is actually a woman.
The princess's complaint was met with a sigh from Mr. Gilbert, he said, "Oscar, a soldier still in training, can act as your bodyguard, but only 3 days a week. The rest of the time will begitu devoted to studying and training. That's final!" He ignored Princess Amora's disapproving gaze.
Meanwhile, in another corner of the room, Darwin and Clay exchanged confused looks. Mr. Gilbert's decision will change their plans.
They escorted Oscar to the intelligence base located outside the capital, which also served as the secret headquarters of the Holy Alliance organization, overseen by Mr. Gilbert himself. There, Oscar willg be hidden until Prince Lexius stops his pursuit of Princess Darlene and is convinced of his suspicions that she died of herhh illness.

Clara Diana laughed in her heart, "This is a good coincidence! With the princess's hot-tempered temperament, it will be easy for me to manipulate her and make her follow my instructions!"_ Clara Diana smiled faintly. Someone who don't have a strong conscience are easily influenced.
Darwin caught a glimpse of Princess Darlene's smile, he suspected that Princess Darlene was planning something. Darwin motioned, Clay immediately followed, "Watch her!"
Clay nodded obediently. They had to keep an eye on princess Darlene.
Darwin suspected that Princess Darlene was carrying out her own plans, considering Princess Darlene's past reputation as a leader of elite troops in the Alexa kingdom, and an expert martial artist on the battlefield. Even though currently princess Darlene was suffering from poison in her body and her memory was a little hazy, she seemed fine and the poison didn't seem to have any physical effect on her.

Princess Amora prepared to leave, but as she arrived at the broken door, Princess Amora turned around and said with a smile, "Uncle Gilbert, I almost forgot to deliver the message from the queen. Prepare a ceremonial dinner to welcome Prince Lexius!"
"I'll prepare it!" Mr. Gilbert answered while bowing respectfully.
Princess Amora looked at Clara Diana, giving the command, "You…Follow me!"
Clara Diana glanced at Mr. Gilbert, he nodded.
Princess Amora walked away with light steps
Princess Amora lied. The dinner was planned, the king and queen certainly did not oppose this impromptu plan, considering that they also wanted the match between Princess Amora and Prince Lexius, more than that, they also agreed if Princess Amora took the initiative to approach Prince Lexius. However, Princess Amora's plans changed, she did not want to have a relationship with Prince Lexius. The presence of this handsome and young bodyguard not only surprised Prince Lexius but would also make the arrogant prince angry and jealous. Imagining this, Princess Amora's heart became happy.
Clara Diana stepped in following Princess Amora's entourage, her departure followed by Mrs. Melani's displeased look and Zoya's heartbroken feelings. "If I had known... he was an undercover soldier," Zoya regretted her previous actions, she had been rude to Oscar.
***
When Princess Amora's group left Mr Gilbert's study, Clara Diana saw the shadow of someone jumping up and down on the walls of their palace.
"Hmm. Is he ordered by Prince Lexius?!" Clara Diana put on a mask to cover her face, it was still not time for her to expose her face. Prince Lexius will get a surprise at dinner. Clara Diana smiled happily behind the mask, the same thing with Princess Amora, the girl smiled when she imagined Prince Lexius, who was usually cool and calm, turning into a jealous and angry man.
**"
When Amora's daughter's group left Mr Gilbert's office. Clara Diana's eyes caught a glimpse of the shadow of someone jumping up and down the walls of their palace.
"Hmm. Is he ordered by Prince Lexius?!" Clara Diana's forehead frowned.
"I have to be careful!"_ Clara Diana put a mask over her face. It wasn't time for her to expose his face yet.
Prince Lexius will get a surprise at dinner tonight. Clara Diana smiled behind the mask.
On the other hand, Princess Amora smiled, imagining Prince Lexius's face, which was usually cold and calm, turning into a jealous and angry man.
(This is just Princess Amora's imagination), Prince Lexius didn't come to find a mate. He is here to ensure that Princess Darlene is kept here safely, one day he will recapture Princess Darlene as a weapon to overthrow King Alphard.
***
Princess Amora's entourage arrived at the queen's palace,_
Princess Amora's bodyguards only escorted her to the gate. Their arrival was welcomed by Mr. Arnold, head of the elite palace guard.
"Mr. Arnold, give him a palace guard uniform, and put him in ward C!" Said princess Amora.
Mr. Arnold was stunned,
Ward C is an elite dormitory for officer guards.
Mr. Arnold could only nod respectfully to Princess Amora, Princess Amora's orders could not be denied.
Mr. Arnold looked at Oscar with disapproval.
"Who is he, why is he here?" He asked the man who was escorting Princess Amora.
His subordinate said in a whisper, "He... was chosen by Mr Gilbert... He just joined the force..." The guard told the incident in Mr Gilbert's office.
Mr. Arnold listened with a red face. It was obvious that he was very angry.
**
Clara Diana felt uncomfortable. The man named Arnold looked at her suspiciously. He looked at Clara from head to toe, down to her toes.
"Give him a new uniform, and burn the uniform he's wearing!" Master Arnold ordered his subordinates.
Mr. Arnold greatly disliked Mr. Gilbert, and this also extended to the young soldier whom he recommended. Mr Gilbert and Mr Arnold They always compete in everything.
Unfortunately, Mr Gilbert occupies a higher position than Mr Gilbert, who is the queen's confidant.
Mr. Arnold said harshly to Clara Diana, "GO! FOLLOW HIM!"
Clara Diana saluted Mr. Arnold, then went to follow the man who whispered earlier.
**
A new soldier can become an elite palace guard after following various stages. They have to study at a military school for 3 years, then graduate with distinction. They were then sent to various battles, against bandits, raiders and slave traders, and rebels on the border. After that, they also have to take a tough test and selection which hundreds of soldiers take part in, after being declared successful, then they can enter this place. As a young guard, they are assigned to guard the gate for six months, only after that they can be appointed as elite palace guards.
"What does Gilbert mean? Did he deliberately make me angry?"
Mr. Arnold hit the table, pouring out his frustration. "Damn Gilbert! How dare he look down on me!" he said angrily.
