"Y/n???"

Three agents walked towards Y/n and these agents made everyone's eyes go wide. The first agent that arrived next to Y/n had a scar on his eye and a killer smile. He had brown hair and blue eyes. The second one had his dark hair in a pony tail and had blue eyes. He looked rather stern and unemotional. The last one was the opposite of the two, he had his ginger hair tied in a pony tail and had blue eyes and looked like the sweetest of the bunch.

"Good morning, Princess Y/n." Agent Shado said as he knelt in front of her.

"O-oh. Wow. Good morning!" Y/n said as she felt her face heat up.

"So? Where's the devil we'd have to take care of? I'm up for carnage." Agent Austin said  smiling down at her.

"C-carnage?" Y/n's eyes widened.

Agent Zekas nudges Agent Austin with a dispproving look on his face.

"That's not how you introduce yourself, stupid." Zekas whispered to him.

"I don't care." Austin said aloud.

Agent Zekas then chuckles and approaches Y/n, taking her hand and kissing her knuckles.

"I deeply apologize for my partner. He still needs to learn manners." Zekas glared daggers at Austin.

He lets go of Y/n's hands and she looks at her father asking for an explaination. Garte catches this and sighs.

" Agent Austin here was a former assassin. We took him in as he needed a place to stay and in return, he is forever loyal to us or else." Garte said looking at Agent Austin, who is trying to fix his composture by adjusting his tie.

"Agent Shado is one of our head Agents along with Agent Jordan and James. He is the general of some sorts in training our new agents and is a highly trained one as well." Garte explained, looking at Shado.

"Yes." Agent Shado said while nodding.

Garte nods back and then proceeds to look at Agent Zekas.

"Agent Zekas is one of those soft agents. BUT he is very deadly.  I do consider him as the softest agent I have ever seen and have. I believe he's great with people your age. He's very approachable too. I bet you'd like him the best among the three." Garte said giving a nodding approval towards Agent.

Agent Zekas smiles brightly at that action.

~Your POV~

"You really have handsome guards, (nickname)" Zianna said looking at the three guards then at father.

She wiggles her eyesbrows.

Oh no..

"Mommy! They're here to protect me. Jeez. Plus I bet they have special people in their lives, mommy." I said looking at my agents.

They all nodded and I can't help but smile. I looked back and stuck my tongue out at mother. She scoffs and sighs, shaking her head in disbelief.

"So? Is everyone okay with their guards?" Father asked before sitting down on his chair.

I nodded and so did my brothers. We were then excused to do whatever we wanted. Everyone quickly split up and I was left alone with my agents.

"So? Princess huh?" One of my guards said.

"Huh?"

I turned to them and raised my left brow.

"Why is it that your nickname is Princess while the others are Master and Lady? You never hear the other guards call your brothers 'prince'. How's that fitting for you?" Agent Austin asked coming closer to my face.

"That scar looks deep, assassin." I said, staring back at him.

He takes a step back with shock plastered on his face. He shakes it off and looks at me with anger.

"Now now. We're not here to fight with our boss. Especially, someone like her." Agent Zekas said standing in between us.

"Yes." Agent Shado said while nodding in agreement.

"Ugh! I was pulled out of bloodshed training to babysit? I NEED BLOOD IN THE WATER!" Agent Austin groaned.

"Are life and death so simple for you?"

Agent Shado turned to Agent Austin as my eyes widened at the sight of a knife pointed at Agent Austin's throat.

"Hey!"

Agent Zekas immediately stood in front of me, blocking me from the view.

"You two better stop that! You're terrifying Princess Y/n!" He said with gritted teeth.

I move a bit and see Agent Austin and Agent Shado glaring at each other.

"Guys! Come on! Be professional will you?" Agent Zekas said, anger laced in his voice.

"Yeah 'General Shado'. Be professional." Agent Austin mocked.

"Shado." Agent Zekas warned.

Agent Shado turned his head to Agent Zekas and I could see the dark look on his face. It seemed like they had some kind of rivalry before. He seemed scary at the way he looked at Zekas.

His gaze turned towards me. I saw his eyes soften as our eyes locked. He quickly retracted the knife and sighed.

"Excuse me for a moment, princess."

Agent Shado walked past me as he walked into the hedges.

"Where's he going?"

"Probably off to sulk again." Agent Austin said scoffing.

I turned to him with anger slowly risingrising. He sees this and moves back.

"You're rude. I don't care if you were a demon in your past life and an assassin right now, but you have to learn some manners." I spat.

I saw him open his mouth and snapped.

"Oh shut up. You had no right to anger another person just because this is your job. To protect me. Why'd you even agree in the first place if you didn't want to babysit?"

His eyes averted from my gaze as he looks down on the ground. 

"Princess..?"

"What!?"

I turned to look at Agent Zekas who was standing behind Agent Shado. I looked up at him and saw him with flowers.

"I am truly sorry for the way I acted. I must've terrified you that I may have led you to anger." He said handing me a bouquet of my favorite flowers.

I stare at the bouquet and looked up at him with a smile on my face.

"Aww Thank you."

He nodded and I looked at the others. Agent Zekas was looking down and so was Agent Austin. I sighed.

"Let's place these flowers in a flower vase and head down to the beach?" I said.

Their eyes quickly lit up.

"The beach?! I can't wait!" Agent Zekas said with excitement.

"Zekas." Agent Austin said looking at his comrade.

"Oh! Oh yeah.. Sorry."Agent Zekas said rubbing the back of his neck in shyness.

I giggled, " Father was right. I would definitely get along with you."

A few moments later, we were all down at the beach. I was splashing in the water like a little kid. I loved the sea and no one could judge me for that.

"Hey princess? Wanna play?" A voice said behind me.

I turned around to see a water gun pointed directly at me with cheeky Agents Austin and Zekas at the end of it.

"Are you challenging me??" I said with an eyebrow raised and a smirk on my face.

"Maybe~?" Agent Zekas said giggling.

I quickly swiped a water gun and ran in the opposite direction. I skid on the sand and turned around with my water gun faced at them. They stopped as well and smirked on their faces.

"You're cornered, cowgirl." Agent Zekas said in a low accent.

"You will rue the day you cornered me, Zekas. This ain't my last rodeo." I said carefully waiting to trigger the water gun.

"This is your last chance, sister. Hand over the water gun. You ain't going nowhere." Agent Austin said squinting a bit.

"Who says so?" I said raising both my brows in determination.

"I just said it!" Agent Austin whined.

I immediately smiled.

"Tough luck." A voice behind them said.

They stood there frozen as I stared at Agent Shado with a smirk forming on my lips. Horror was seen in their faces.

Suddenly, a bucket of ice cold water was dumped on them.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

I burst out in laughter as they ran away shivering. Tears started to prick in my eyes from laughing too hard.

"THIS IS NOT OVER, PRINCESS!" Agent Austin said yelling up the stairs towards our vacation home.

"Y-YEAH!" Agent Zekas said trailing behind him.

I can't help but laugh at them. I turned to my side to see Agent Shado laughing as well. His laugh was low and I can't help but admire that. He soon stopped laughing and saw me staring. His brows furrowed.

"Is everything alright, princess?" He asked in a worried tone.

I chuckled, "No. Everything's fine. I'm glad you guys are my guards. It makes me feel much more comfortable."

I began to walk to my umbrella and sat there. The breeze was cool and the sound of the waves crashing were all music to my ears. Some birds were chirping and it was like a perfect morning.

Suddenly, I felt the blanket dip on my left side. I look to my side to see Agent Shado sitting beside me. I smiled and just looked at the sea.

"What a wonderful world..."
