Qing had been trained for years. As soon as she graduated, the Fifth Prince chose her to serve as one of his personal guards.
The Fifth Prince was the Empress's youngest son and the Crown Prince's younger brother. He was spoiled rotten and got away with everything, but he only caused minor mischief, never any serious trouble. Qing's job as his bodyguard was easy.
But the Fifth Prince grew up and started dragging the Crown Prince around on outings. That's when her hard days began.
The first time she ran into Shadow One, they'd coincidentally picked the same hiding spot. She didn't think anything of it and greeted him politely.
The second, third, and tenth times they chose the same hiding spot, she figured it was just something all excellent bodyguards had in common. After all, who wouldn't like a perfect hiding place?
But after being squeezed into a corner by the towering Shadow One too many times to count, she finally couldn't take it anymore and said coldly, "You're crowding me."
