When they met the next day, the young man in white was by Miss Vera’s side, which was quite the surprise to the four sisters . As a matter of fact, Liu Yue gave the youngster next to her a sympathetic look . She opened her arms and, with a bright smile, suggested, “What’s the matter? You need a friendly hug to relax?”

The youngster believed Miss Vera a.s.signed him to protect the four sisters because she trusted him in addition to the sisters not disliking him . Nevertheless, seeing someone else protect the woman he liked left a bitter taste in his mouth . With that said, he was a bodyguard . As a bodyguard he couldn’t question his master’s command . As such, he had to put up with the bitterness .

The four sisters had different impressions of the young man in white . They didn’t realise it at first . After Miss Ying interacted with him, however, they learnt that he was actually an apprentice officer by their father’s side . It was strange because as soon the sisters learnt of his ident.i.ty, they immediately recalled lots of related memories .

Daisy felt there was something different about the young man in white next to Miss Vera . She had an odd feeling upon first meeting him; she thought she met him before . Afterwards, she asked Miss Ying about him and learnt he was a new apprentice in the guard unit . That wasn’t the reason she knew him, nonetheless . There were lots of apprentices in the Imperial Palace . Fundamentally, her father’s bodyguard team was comparable to her Grandmother Elizabeth’s Valkyrie squad, which was why there are lots of apprentices . Therefore, it was impossible for her to remember an ordinary officer .

Daisy felt she spent several years of thinking on her memories of the last few days, yet she couldn’t recall where she saw the young man in white before . Daisy wasn’t fond of thinking . She’d rather spend her energy training or stalking her father than thinking about the young man in white . Nevertheless, an opportunity had presented itself .

Two bodyguards were currently present in the rest room . Miss Vera was busy with her work; she planned to take the sisters to lunch afterwards .

Liu Yue played chess with Vera . Nona chatted with Miss Ying . Ying wasn’t fond of speaking, but she was a good listener . It was apparent Ying enjoyed chatting with Nona . Ying was fond of the innocent type of kids, such as Nona .

“That means that n.o.body is paying attention to me at the moment . This might be my chance to ask,” rationalised Daisy . She inquired, “Umm… Have we seen you before?”

The young man in white pivoted around . He answered, “Yes . We met at the city door . To be honest, I never thought we would be working together after that meeting . ”

Daisy grabbed him: “No, what I mean is in the past, further back, that is . You’re one of my dad’s apprentice officers, right? Have we met before in the Imperial Palace? I don’t have a great memory, but something must’ve happened for me to remember you . I just can’t recall exactly what happened . So, do you still remember where we met and what we did?”

“Erm…” The young man’s expression subtly changed: “Sorry, Your Highness, I am just an apprentice officer . Normally speaking, I would not have the chance to meet you…”

“That’s a lie,” Liu Yue coldly interjected, causing the duo to shudder . “Although I don’t know what you’re trying to hide, you’ve dined with my father before . To be precise, you dined with my father and Mommy Lucia . I don’t believe my father would take the initiative to invite an apprentice officer to share a meal with him; you must be somehow related . ”

“Ah… I…” With a helpless smile, the young man explained, “About that… umm… to be honest, I really do not know… What I mean is that I really did not know that King Troy taking the initiative to invite an apprentice officer to share a meal was special case . I thought everybody would have the experience… After all… after all…”

Liu Yue folded her arms and sternly responded, “Leaving us out even if it’s just a meal is unlike Dad! When Dad sees guests, he’ll tell us – unless the guest is somebody very important . Otherwise, he’ll let us join . Why are you the exception? I noticed something wasn’t right from the start . I merely didn’t speak up . Now, tell us, what exactly are you here for? I feel as though… Dad sent you to protect us?”

“Sorry, Your Highness, I must apologise for the previous matter for I previously did not know the reason . But nonetheless, you can consider me an ordinary person from the West . I am unrelated to His Majesty in any capacity, and I do not have any idea why His Majesty did that… I think… if you want to know… it would be best for you to ask His Majesty yourself . As for your second question, my answer is ‘no . ’ I am, indeed, here on orders from His Majesty; however, my order was to guard Miss Vera, not you . I am sure Miss Ying and Miss Tanya will be the ones to protect you . I am just an apprentice, after all . Asking me to protect you would, frankly, be too tall of an order…”

“Mm…” Liu Yue looked at the young man .

When Liu Yue was about to ask more questions, Miss Vera came over . Miss Vera, smiling, suggested, “I heard you sisters were quite fond of stir-fried dishes . I, therefore, asked the chef in the palace to prepare some dishes for you . You should be able to use our eating utensils now, right? Let us go have our meal now, then . ”

“All right . ” The girls nodded, thereby ending the inquiry session . They did manage to attain some answers, albeit not the answer they wanted . Although the young man might’ve told the truth, the four sisters didn’t look as though they planned on acknowledging his answer . Even so, not even the astute Vera could find a reason to refute his claims .

The young man in white sighed and then walked over to Miss Vera . The youngster vigilantly watched the young man in white . The biggest taboo for guards was secrets . A guard with a secret was the easiest to capture, and they were problematic .

“It seems… that there’s a small problem with Mom’s filtering magic… How did they see through me…? A dragon’s magic should be perfect, shouldn’t it…? Why is there a problem…? Why…?” silently questioned the young man in white .
