Duke's Daughter Margarita Frost Reporting for Duty

Side Story

SIDE STORY
ESCORT KNIGHT

Sitting on his study table facing the open large glass window.
The chirp of the birds and the ray of the sun gives the sense of pleasant day.

Miguelito is writing on a white paper.

To Sir  Joshua,

I am pleased to be invited by your honor.
I will be there in the party to celebrate with you in your success.
I always admire your great Sir's ability and passion.
Yours Truly,
Miguelito Frost.

Miguelito folded the letter.

Miguelito's P.O.V

"Ben, come here."

I have a guard name Ben.
He is taller than me and had a brown hair that always puzzle me how he comb it.
Once again he enters my room and walks to me.
I want to laugh and point it out but his expression seems stiff so I really doesn't want to scare him.

My sister gave him to me after we came back from Uncle's farm.
He is an escort guard.
More like X to Sister.
X is actually overworked.
He is father's secretaty.
This households head butler.
My sister's escort.
He has no choice but to accept my two relatives selfish demands.
Still, that guy never looks like he cares.

"Young Master, you called?"

Actually, I have two escort guard but Ben is the one I always called despite my understanding that he is creating a boss/servant wall between us.

"Send this to Viscount Craig."

"I see. Did you decide to come to the party? Oh! Pardon me, I shouldn't have ask." His cheeks reddened.

"It's fine to ask me." I sigh. He is always treating me like some royalty(sadly, I am).
"My teacher told me that the quickiest way to social understanding is being in a social gatherings. So I am accepting all I can accept this week."

"I see. I will deliver it."

I watch him walks.

After the door close.

I have this strange smile in my face.

'His hair is like a bird nest.'

I always have this weird smile whenever I see him.

Ben's P.O.V

When I was little, I dream to be a knight for royalty.
I have skill and determination.
From the small village, I travel roughly 3000 kilometers and been enlisted luckily.

When I was in patrol, I almost died but I was saved by the Duke Frost.

I was awed.

For a commoner like me, to be saved by someone on the top of the food chain?

I wanted to thank him but I didn't have the chance.
I decided to drop being a National Knight and come to the Duke's territory.
I sworr my allegiance and my life for the Duke.

But there are so many skilled knight here.
I feel so mediocre.

Until One day, Miss starts reducing the knights.

When our eyes met, I was startled.

"You, slap her,him and her."

My first mission was....to slap faces!

But that is an order of my Master.
Though there are lots of bad rumor about her, I won't bite the child of the man who saves my life. I was young and naive. If I die so young....my sister and mother will cry. My father will toss me to river or burn my body.
So to me, even if she is reincarnation of devil herself, I will follow her.
