Rhea Marie

What happens when a legendary assassin, trained in the shadows and feared by many, is assigned an unusual mission to become the personal bodyguard of a powerless princess? A princess so naive and fragile that she can't even recognize danger when it's right in front of her. Viviette Frerio The 16-year-old princess of the Frerio Kingdom, born without magic or special abilities. Considered useless by her family and people, she has spent her life being ignored, mocked, and treated with open disdain. Even her own parents show little concern for her well-being. Nymeria Valencia A 17-year-old assassin, known for her unmatched skills, deadly precision, and unwavering resolve. For years, she has thrived in the darkness, eliminating targets without hesitation. But now, she faces her greatest challenge yet-guarding a princess who seems incapable of defending herself. Thrown into a world of royal politics, betrayals, and hidden dangers, Nymeria must decide: Will she adapt to this new life and protect the princess at all costs, or will she abandon her mission and return to the only world she has ever known?

"Wait! Can't you let me stay for just one more month? I swear, I'll find a way to pay!" Prim pleaded desperately with her landlord, clutching the small bag that held all her remaining belongings. "Your grace period is over!" the landlord snapped, his face twisted in anger. "You've been behind on rent for four months! I'm not about to wait for a fifth. I'd rather rent the place to someone else than keep losing money on you!" "But I really do have the money! I just... had a streak of bad luck-" "I don't care about your excuses!" he shouted. "I've already found a new tenant. Now, get out of here! I won't give you another chance, no matter how much you beg. Or would you prefer I call the authorities and demand full payment right now?!" Without another word, Prim was shoved out onto the street. The evening air was cold, and the loneliness stung more than the landlord's cruel words. All she had left was a small amount of cash-barely enough to survive on for a few days. With nowhere else to go, her feet carried her to the park, the only place that ever gave her a bit of peace. Sitting on an old, weathered bench, she sighed heavily. "What am I supposed to do now?" she whispered to herself, staring up at the night sky. Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the trees nearby. Her heart skipped a beat. Before she could react, a man was thrown to the ground right in front of her. His body was battered, his clothes stained with blood. "A-Are you okay?!" she cried, rushing toward him. His crimson eyes snapped open, and he shoved her back. "Stay away!" he growled. Prim stumbled, falling onto the grass. It was then that she saw the sharp fangs and those unmistakable glowing eyes. "Y-You're a vampire?" she blurted out, fear and fascination mixing in her chest. "Get out of here if you want to live," he snarled, standing up despite his wounds. "This isn't a place for humans at this hour." She hadn't even realized how late it had gotten. Too caught up in her own misery, she'd lost track of time. "Geez, so grumpy," she muttered, pouting. "I was just trying to help." Before he could respond, another vampire leapt from the treetops, lunging at her. Prim screamed, thinking it was over-but the injured vampire intercepted the attack, taking the hit for her. "ARGH!" he shouted in pain. Prim hid behind a tree, trembling, as the two fought viciously. Moments later, the attacker was reduced to ashes. The wounded vampire collapsed. "Are you okay?" Prim asked, hurrying to his side. "Go home," he mumbled, exhausted. "You saved me. Why?" "You're not afraid of me?" "Why should I be? You just risked your life for mine." He gave a soft, dry chuckle. "You're a strange one, kid." "Kid? Hey! I'm not a kid!" "You are to me. I've been alive for decades." Their unlikely meeting marked the beginning of a bond neither of them expected, in a world where humans and vampires struggled to coexist in uneasy peace.

"Marry my daughter." I shifted my gaze from my glass of wine and stared at him in disbelief. Those were the last words I expected to hear from his mouth. I was no stranger to marriage proposals from my business associates. Many had tried to push their daughters toward me, hoping to gain something in return. And each time, I rejected them without hesitation. But this time was different. This was Lucas Angelo Ferrer-my fiercest rival in the business world. So why would he suddenly walk into my office with such a proposal? What was he really after?

I grinned widely as I revealed my winning cards, and my friends immediately voiced their complaints. "Sorry, guys. This one's mine!" I scooped up the bets from the table. "Come on, May-may! You always win!" "Are you cheating?" I flipped Fillan off for his comment. "You're just salty because you lost. Loser!" I taunted. "One more round, May!" Elmo challenged. "Nah, it's late," I said, glancing at my broken watch, which I only wore for style. "The dead aren't going anywhere! This place never closes anyway!" I glanced toward the house where our friend's coffin lay. Sam had been stabbed in the lung by his enemies. "You can help keep watch over Sam, too. It's tough staying up all night. Why don't you take his spot instead?" I smacked Elmo on the head. "How about I put you next to Sam instead?!" "Stay a little longer, May! Free snacks!" Fillan gestured toward the coffee and bread. I narrowed my eyes. They looked good. "Fine, I'll eat, then I'm leaving." "Stayyyy!" --- I ate the sandwich I took from Sam's wake as I walked through the dim alleyways toward home. "Out late again, May?" called out Tatay Gurong, drinking outside his house. "I was at Sam's." "That boyfriend of yours? Haven't seen him around lately." "He's dead," I replied casually, passing by. "Oh? What a waste." Hearing about deaths was normal here. A week without a killing was rare. This place was full of thugs, and honestly, I wouldn't even be surprised if someone got murdered in front of me. I was confident no one could intimidate me here-until I saw the man standing in front of my rented room. I instantly looked for a hiding spot. My sandwich slipped from my hand as I ducked behind a nearby post. Just as I was about to peek, a dog barked at me. My eyes widened in horror-it had definitely caught the man's attention. "Shut up, Choco!" I hissed at the dog. "You know me, damn it!" "Maria Zia Salazar?" I shrieked in shock at the man's voice. "Is that you?" "Look, dude, I swear, even though I was Sam's girlfriend, I had nothing to do with his debts. I don't have any money!" I pleaded, pulling out my pockets, which were full of candy. The man, dressed in a tuxedo, looked at my pockets, then at me, confused. "Even if you kidnap me, you'll get nothing. So just don't, okay?" I begged. He cleared his throat and stood straight. "Ms. Maria Zia Salazar Alaister." I froze at the mention of my full name. "I'm here to take you." I raised an eyebrow and laughed. "You've got the wrong person, dude." I walked past him. Before I could reach my rented room, two men blocked my way. "This is a direct order from your father, Giovanni Alaister," the man behind me said. I glared at him and turned around. "And what if I refuse?" I challenged. "We will use force," he said, pointing a gun at me. I met his gaze, my expression darkening. What does Giovanni want with me this time?!

I woke up to loud knocking and someone repeatedly shouting my name. I was sure it was Aling Lourdes, the owner of this rental place. Aling Lourdes shouted, "I stood up and immediately opened the door for her." "Well, Maki, it seems like you're forgetting something?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. "Aling Lourdes, I don't have any money right now. Can I—" I couldn't finish my sentence because she interrupted. "If you can't pay, you should leave now. Nothing is free, and if you don't, I'll report you to the barangay," she said before leaving. I took a deep breath and decided to leave this place. •3 hours ago• I was outside Aling Lourdes' apartment, still thinking about where I should go when my phone suddenly rang. I answered it. "Hello?" "Maki? How are you, my child?" I couldn't respond when I heard my dad's voice. "What do you want?" I asked coldly. "Look at you, your attitude never changes," Dad said. "If you don't have anything good to say, I'll hang up now," I said irritably. "Maki, why don't you come live here so you can see how beautiful it is?" Dad suggested. "In your dreams," I started to say, but then I remembered I needed a place to stay. "Just send me the address," I said curtly and ended the call. My phone vibrated, and I saw the address he sent. I smirked a little and called a taxi. •Fast Forward• I was now in front of his mansion, and someone greeted me and told me to follow them. I stopped walking when I got inside. The place was huge and beautiful. I was startled when someone spoke behind me. "So, it's you?" the person said, looking angry. "M-me?" I stammered, pointing at myself. "Who else, stupid?" the person said before turning away. "HEY, YOU'RE SO ARROGANT! I'LL STRANGLE YOU!" I shouted, moving closer. "Sure, if you can, brat," the person said mockingly. I was about to hit him with my bag when someone laughed loudly.
