Annalise stared wide eyed at her new royal guard. She didn't look like a guard at all. Ash didn't wear the uniform or even the family crest, which unsettled her slightly. There was an air of mystery around this girl, however, that calmed Annalise's nerves.<br/><br/>"Welcome to the worst job in Parycia." Annalise murmured, placing a hand on Ash's shoulder.<br/><br/>Her skin tingled and instantly warmed at the contact. She felt her heartbeat grow rapid and her cheeks flushed a violent red. Annalise pulled her hand back into her body and cradled it against her chest.<br/><br/><br/>"I can be quite a handful, I'll admit..." She grinned, ignoring her sudden change of aura, "But I won't give you too much trouble." Annalise motioned for Ash to join her in her chambers.<br/><br/>"Come keep me company, Ash."<br/><br/>She turned and wandered back into her room, secretly hoping that Ash would follow her. Why wouldn't she? Annalise is the princess after all.
