“If you have any questions, ask them now.”
Sun Yunso slowly raised his hand.
Yo Chomai looked at him.
“…Yes?
Sun Yunso spoke, his tone as calm as ever.
“May I at least know the name of the princess we’re supposed to protect?”
Yo Chomai blinked.
“You don’t know?”
Sun Yunso calmly shook his head.
“I’m not from Meizou.”
Yo Chomai was silent for a moment, then let out a quiet sigh but before he could say more, another voice cut in.
“I don’t know either.”
Everyone turned.
Lokei Yoshe casually raised his hand.
” I’m not from Meizou either.”
One of the other recruits scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
“Neither am I.”
“Same.”
“M-Me too.”
Within moments, all five recruits had admitted they had no idea who the Guo Family’s princess was.
Yo Chomai just stood there, silent.
The Guo Family’s security captain looked genuinely speechless.
After a long pause, he pinched the bridge of his nose.
So, somehow, we’ve recruited five guards, and not one of them even knows who they’re protecting.
A few servants walking by couldn’t help but glance over, curious.
Yo Chomai sighed again before straightening up.
“Very well.
If none of you know, then allow me to introduce her properly.
The woman you have been entrusted to protect is the youngest daughter of the Guo Family, Guo Yuxuan.
She is the future bride in this political marriage, that means until the wedding is over, her life is your responsibility.”
The others nodded silently, quietly repeating the name to themselves, committing it to memory.
Sun Yunso did the same, but for some reason, the name sounded strangely familiar.
‘Have I heard that name before?’
He searched his memories.
Back at Nasura, while he was eating, he remembered a lively young woman with an unusually bright smile.
She had boldly approached him, asking strange questions and teasing him, even though they were complete strangers.
At the time, he had found her behavior rather confusing.
So it was her.
He hadn’t expected the cheerful young woman from Nasura to be the very princess whose wedding was the focus of this mission, nor had he expected someone intended to kill her.
Good.
If she’s that important, then she could be extremely useful.
“Are there any more questions?” Yo Chomai asked.
They all just glanced at each other, which already showed that there were no further questions.
Yo Chomai nodded his head and gestured for the five to follow him again, in which they all did.
They passed by the beauties of the Guo family mansion and made their way to the security clothing.
Yo Chomai gave them each blue robes, what they were wearing and those robes bore the emblem of the Guo Family.
All five bowed down and we’re thankful for the clothing.
Yo Chomai had no problem and began to walk out the door and he had already given them their stations for where to guard just for practice.
As soon as the door was closed, all that was left was the five newly made guards ready to change their clothes.
One of the guards is a young woman with a boyish design, she has reddish-auburn hair with large hazel-green eyes with bangs covering one eye.
She was merely playing with her hair, trying her best to avoid eye contact but there was one thing that was bothering her.
“Um….I’ll just wait for you guys to finish.
Then I’ll change afterwards.” The young girl said with a soft voice.
All eyes shifted onto her and she was immediately terrified as she could feel the gazes of the four.
“Why is there something wrong about changing with us?” One of the guards said with curiosity in their voice.
“N-No,there is nothing wrong.
It’s just that I won’t feel comfortable taking off my clothes in front of boys.”
“Care to explain what you mean by that?” Lokei asked.
The young woman was even more scared with how many questions they were jumping on her.
She felt slowly uncomfortable and wanted to leave as fast as she could.
“It’s okay, from what you’re saying.
You haven’t had a glance at a boy for a while right?” Sun Yunso said.
The young woman was stunned after hearing Sun Yunso’s understanding of her fully.
“U-Um, thank you and your right.
It’s actually been a while since I saw or talked with a male so of course I’m going to get a little uncomfortable.”
“Like I said, it’s fine you don’t have to worry that much about it.
You can wait for all of us to change and then you can come in right after.”
The young woman lifted her head to Sun Yunso’s direction and nodded.
Nice to meet you, kind sir.”
Sun Yunso was caught off guard after hearing the young woman reveal her name.
“Is something wrong?” Sa Wayong asked.
“Oh, sorry I was just caught off guard.
My name is Sun Yunso.” Sun Yunso replied.
Sa Wayong let out a small smile while still looking down, hiding her face.
Another voice chimed in, this one had some little energy to it.
“Guess we’re doing introductions now huh.
Well that has to eventually happen since we are gonna be teammates.”
All attention went to the person who stated that.
It was a young man, with sharp, jet-black hair.
The hair is straight, clean, and neatly kept, falling just past his ears with a slight natural volume and also has bright, sharp dark brown eyes.
“My name is Chu Runar.
Nice to meet you guys.” He said before letting out a loud laughter.
Another of the guards nodded and also introduced himself.
“I guess you’re right.
My name’s Naizan.”
“No last name?” Sun Yunso asked.
“No, I’m an orphan.”
“Oh,sorry that I asked.”
Naizan did not mind and just shrugged it off.
After that all eyes went to the last person who hadn’t introduced himself.
Lokei was done with his changing and was about to leave until he felt the gaze of the other four and he turned around.
“What?
Why are you all staring at me like that?” Lokei asked.
“Because you haven’t told us your name.” Chu Runar said.
“Didn’t you hear it when we were doing the test?”
Chu Runar just shook his head in denial.
Lokei sighed
“Lokei Yoshe.”
Everyone nodded after hearing Lokei’s name.
“Okay, and it looks like our team’s finally complete.
Let’s get along with each other.”
