Chapter 4: So near yet so far
Soul's mateHe smiled as he saw the beautiful lady smelling the red roses on the big garden. He had been in love with her ever since he was brought to the empire as a guard. Too bad though that the girl was the emperor’s wife. He can only look and admire her from afar.
The odd feeling of wanting to hold her in his arms grips his heart whenever she is near…
She met him a few moons ago… her husband assigned the young warrior as her guard because the emperor is afraid that someone would steal her away from him. Normally, the empress would just laugh that off but at one look at his new guard's eyes and she was caught.
They loved each other but they cannot be together… it was just not meant to be, she was the empress and he was his guard. It was a forbidden love that cannot be fruitful for both sides when acted upon.
The guard is loyal to the empire and the empress do not want to hurt the person who gave him his all, his husband.
