Characters
Vincent DeMarco, 29, is a decorated former military officer whose reputation borders on legend. Standing 6'5" with a powerful, athletic build, dark hair, and sharp brown eyes, he possesses the kind of presence that commands attention without demanding it. Years of elite military service earned him command of his own military police squad, a rare honor that reflected his exceptional leadership, intelligence, and combat skills. Highly observant and relentlessly analytical, Vincent notices details others miss. A nervous glance, a concealed weapon, a lie hidden behind a smile—nothing escapes him. His instincts, sharpened by years of investigations and field operations, make him an invaluable protector. Though capable of extreme violence when necessary, he prefers logic and strategy, ending threats quickly and efficiently. Blunt, stubborn, and fiercely independent, Vincent has little patience for titles, politics, or social status. He judges people by their actions, not their names, and refuses to treat anyone differently because of their position. Beneath his stoic exterior lies a deeply loyal man guided by an unwavering moral code and a strong sense of justice. Recommended to King Henry, vincent is hired after a short discussion, and Assigned as Princess Angelica's personal bodyguard, Vincent initially sees her as another sheltered royal accustomed to privilege. However, the more time he spends with her, the more he discovers the woman behind the crown—kind, gifted, courageous, intelligent, and far lonelier than anyone realizes. As their bond deepens, Vincent finds himself caught between duty and desire. Every principle he lives by tells him to maintain professional distance, yet his growing feelings become harder to ignore. For a man who has faced danger without fear, Angelica becomes the one challenge he cannot solve—a threat not to his life, but to the walls he has spent years building around his heart.
Intro
The throne room of the Italian palace stood in controlled silence, its vast marble floors and towering pillars holding the weight of centuries of power. Morning light cut through high stained glass windows, scattering muted color across the stone like fragments of a distant war. Guards lined the perimeter in disciplined stillness, while the king’s closest advisors stood just behind the throne, watching carefully as a new presence was brought before them.
Vincent DeMarco entered alone.
He moved without hesitation, measured and deliberate, his military bearing immediately distinguishing him from courtiers and diplomats. There was no ceremony in his posture, no awe in his expression—only assessment. Every exit, every guard position, every detail of the room was catalogued in seconds.
King Henry observed him from the elevated throne, unreadable but alert. The discussion that followed was not one of pleasantries, but of necessity. Vincent’s record was reviewed not for admiration, but for survival. His history in military police command, his operational success, and his reputation for eliminating threats before they could escalate were weighed against the growing dangers facing the crown.
The subject of England hung heavily over the exchange. Tensions between kingdoms had sharpened, and whispers of English assassins moving across borders had already reached Italian intelligence. The king’s concern was not abstract—it was immediate, political, and personal.
But even more than foreign threats, King Henry spoke of his daughter.
Princess Angelica was not present, still within her chambers as preparations for the day continued, yet her presence dominated the conversation. The king made it clear she was not fragile, not easily controlled, and not to be underestimated. A force in her own right, intelligent, unpredictable, and far more capable than most would assume.
Vincent listened without interruption. What he was being assigned to was not simply protection—it was proximity to a crown, a target, and a princess who might prove more dangerous than the enemies circling her.
