Close the door!”The woman quickly shut the door and I heard the lock turn. I smiled. Like a flimsy door lock would stop a Royal. “So what exactly are you saving me from, devil woman?”The perfect lips tightened. “My name is Brina. You would do well to respect me, halfling. I may be all that saves you from the forces aligning against you.”Before I could stop myself, I snorted.The gorgeous, black eyes narrowed and I felt the sting of her power against my skin. I allowed my magic to cover me, giving me an impenetrable barrier against anything she tried to use on me. Sparks flew as her power met mine and she took a step forward, moving into my personal space. I leaned into her, glaring. “Let’s get something straight here, devil bitch. As I told your impudent advocate, I can take care of myself. I don’t need any Royal bodyguards.”The glare turned into a derisive smirk. “Your ignorance is amusing, but I’m not willing to risk the health of our court on your puny skills. I will be your bodyguard whether you wish it or not.”Speaking of unwelcome protectors, the air beside me shimmered and Slayer appeared, sword drawn.
