Book 19: Chapter 47
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 assigned 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 identity, 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 nobody 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.”
