The Princess's Guard || Lee Heeseung ✅

🔱 Challenge To The Princess 🔱

❦ ___________________ ❦

"Don't hold back", Y/N warned as the two of them stepped up to circle each other. No sooner than they started had Sunoo and Sunghoon came back from their task of sending a message to Slovane.

They both looked in askance at Geonu when they took a sit beside him in the grass and the quiet man only shrugged in response.

"I would never even think of it", Jong Seong says, grinning at her and wiggling his brows to her in suggestion.

They circled each other for a second and just as she has decided how to rid of his weapon quickly, Jong Seong sprung at her without warning. She ducked almost out of her fast reflex to avoid his blade and swung her sword against it as she straightened.

There was a clash of steel and steel then another as Jong Seong drew back, and clashed his sword into hers, right near the handle. Y/N felt the leather of the handle slide underneath her fingers, but she drew it and spun it, regaining grip just in time to catch him off guard and nearly knock his sword away from his grip.

"Got you", she smirked when Jong Seong was surprised at her success, but she was caught off guard herself as she relaxed for a second, giving him a time to flip his sword from left to right and almost rid her of her sword. And win, which is unacceptable.

This time the handle flew right to the tips of her fingers, but she spun it around again and regain a composure, striking a blow from above. With a longer sword from Jong Seong, this is to her advantage but he being improved from the last time she teached him, ducked and blocked it easily-spinning and grabbing her, pulling her against him.

"That was intense but with a little hint of intimacy", Chunseok commented from where he, Heeseung and Leeteuk watched the two.

"Seems like you found your rival for her attention, Master", Leeteuk remarked and nudges Heeseung on the shoulder who was keeping his face straight from the scene.

Sunoo who was a few feet away from the three bodyguards hears it and immediately faced his two fellow squires "He really likes her from what I heard just now", He said worriedly as Geonu shook his head in disbelief and Sunghoon bit his lips.

"How come that girl manages to get a guy attracted to her wherever she goes?", Sunoo asked in wonder, eyes never leaving Jong Seong and Y/N. Sunghoon followed his sight.

"I cannot say a word for I have been once one of those guys", Sunghoon admitted and sighs loudly in Jong Seong's desperate case. "Our friend there is crazy about her, huh?", He pointed at the clearly joyful Jong Seong.

"So is the Prince and he's waiting for us to return her", Geonu reminded them making the two shut up their mouths and they fall into an uncomfortable silence.

The three of them knew sooner or later, the Prince of Slovane will inevitably find out what Jong Seong just did and the worse thing is, they knew their friend would not give her up easily so long as he could this time.

Y/N struggled as Jong Seong snatched the sword from her hands but she was well used by his tactic. It had been used against her multiple times by him whenever she trains him. With a plan, she let him to think he had beaten her for a moment, then ducked under him at last and jumped away from his reach, the sword back to her hands when she snatched it from him.
