A Garden forest spreads full of vigor right in front of Lily. At the back, she finds a wall with a huge round door, filled with obscure yet familiar patterns.

While looking around, seeing those flowers dance with the gentle wind, she starts feeling happy and.. at peace, as if she was never Frozen Lily.

Suddenly, she stops and shifted her gaze beyond the garden forest.

Lily ran towards that direction; towards a beautiful field.

There she finds wild flowers growing as far as the eye can see. It was a sea of flowers!

The breeze was so gentle; and the light was warm and caring. The clouds would cast shadows but it was not bad, since they were just passing by.

Everything about it was beautiful and it felt almost perfect.

".e~....."

A muffled sound starts echoing from the distance asking for attention; it was a voice from someone. Lily, who heard it, focused her eyesight beyond the field to where the sound might have come from. There she finds people waving at her, asking her to come. She follows their request and started heading towards where they are.

She started walking but slowly got faster, and faster until she started running, feeling excited. But when she was half way there, she saw another silhouette that wasn't there before. She suddenly halts her tracks to examine him.

It was a man wearing a dark robe with his hood covering the upper part of his face, displaying a sinister smile.

The man was releasing a sinister aura; everything about him felt bad. Lily, frozen in fear, gazed at the man as the atmosphere shifted from relaxing to dark and eerie. The people who were there are now gone, and only Lily and the sinister man was left there, staring at each other.

Suddenly, a lightning strikes near them and Lily, who was surprised, got blinded by the light. The blinding effect gradually subsided, but what came to view was not the field anymore. A huge hallway with broken pillars, shattered stain glass and a huge hole at the side, revealing the rain welcomed Lily. The place was dark and eerie like the man before who is now staring at her from the other side of the hallway, making Lily fear for her life. Then, another lightning strikes again and everything went dark.

In the darkness, a crying voice of a woman can be heard repeating the words,

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... my child... I'm sorry"

I woke up by the sound of the alarm, and the end of that same dream; and every time, I always find myself in tears. This is how I always wake up.

One year has passed since I was given the task of protecting the young master. A lot of things happened since then.

A young man suddenly bursts in to the room while Lily was changing.

"Lily! breakfast is rea... uwaaaaaaaaah!"

This energetic young man here, who's covering his eyes, is the young master, Johnson Flaiden. He wants me to call him Jack though.

 Lily bowed graciously to the young master and said, "Good morning, master Jack".

The young master Jack, while trying to compose himself at the sight of a naked girl bowing to him like nothing was wrong shouted, "PLEASE PUT ON SOME CLOTHES!".

"yes"

"Geez! why are you naked in the first place."

"I was changing"

"I CAN SEE THAT!"

Then why did you ask?, Lily thought, while tilting her head at the young master.

This is not our daily exchange. This is just one of those "accidents" that the young master has been getting into, and I'm not the only victim. There was that one time, when he mistakenly entered the changing room for women in his school, and that one time when he tripped and rolled all the way to the soaking area for women in an Onsen. Don't misunderstand though; the man in question is having a hard time understanding why this kept on happening, thus, all of this are all pure "accidents". A good example was when he found a girl shitting in the men's room, with the door to the stool unlocked. The lady got angry, but soon realized it was her mistake. Fortunately, it was only between them and no one else was there so no hard feelings. It was purely a coincidence.

How I know of that private exchange? I am his guard. It is my duty to keep him safe no matter where he is.

When Lily finished changing clothes, she proceeded to accompany the young master to the table right outside the room. They both, currently live in an apartment that's enough to have two rooms, one bathroom, a living room and a kitchen while still having spare space. It was a standard apartment for any family with balanced salary, but in this case, it is enough for the young master and his guard.

"By the way, what are you gonna do today?", the young master asked.

"Guard you", was my reply.

"Aside from guarding me all day, what else will you do?"

"Make sure you're safe"

"..."

The young master is clearly dissatisfied with my answer. I guess this is the part where I change the subject.

"I finished reading the light novel you "lent" to me"

"OH! Then, did you like it? How was the story? Do you like the MC? I know he's a bit of an ec.."

Lily interrupted him, "It used the same element and scenery as the previous books you "lent" me, the story was full of unnecessary shouts and power ups and the MC is fine"

"I.. I see"

Then Lily added, "But over all, the plot twist was skillfully used, the story was adventurous and the characters were not lacking"

Looking at his glittering eyes, he seems to be satisfied with that answer.

"Hehe. I know, right? I mean the part he was summoned and.. blah .. blah"

The young master continued to speak gleefully of the book that was previously mentioned. 'He seems satisfied with this answer', Lily thought.

After two hours of non stop talking, the master finally drank some water and smiled, "Hehe. To think "The cold heart and uninterested to anything else other than orders" Frozen Lily would start reading fantasy novels. I sure have outdone myself this time."

"Yes, yes you have.", I replied nonchalantly.

"Even though I couldn't make you smile or laugh, at the very least, this is a progress. kind of."

"I agree"

"By the way, there is.. *BOOM*"

A loud explosion suddenly erupted from the floor right below us which caused some shaking. I swiftly left the table and ran towards the window to know the situation.

Master Jack asked, "WHAT HAPPENED?!"

It seems the enemy has made use of some hoodlums to attack. I did warn them about this.

"Hoodlums, master Jack. most likely payed by the enemy for this."

"What?! haven't they learned already?!"

I ran towards my room to call some reinforcements and get some weapons.

"Lately, master has been getting sabotaged by anonymous people. Most likely a third party's work"

We exited the apartment and got greeted by chaos. Explosions and screaming are echoing all over the place. Bullets are being shot towards civilians.

"Waah..", Master Jack made an astonished sound.

"They're getting closer, we must hurry."

"yes!"

Our destination was the rooftop and we were heading there, but suddenly, out of no where, a knife was heading towards me. I dodged it and faced the enemy. A hairless man in black suit is sitting in one of the benches placed outside of apartments.

"Well, well. It is true, that a skillful guard is here."

Without hesitation, I ran towards the man with lightning speed but got greeted by a grenade. I shifted my weight to the left of the enemy just in time and clashed with him using our blades. He's skillful.

I shouted towards the master, "Master Jack! you must run now! we'll meet later!"

"Y-you better be!"

The man smiled towards me and said, "Not bad."

"You too. Unfortunately I have to finish this within two minutes"

I have to get to the rooftop within five minutes or else, the escape pod they sent will leave us.

"Oh? Can you even keep up?"

He suddenly ran outside towards the direction where the young master was heading. He's fast too. I followed him which caused a mini sonic boom. Due to the speed we were making, our body got lifted and had to resort to running on walls. This building was oval in shape and at the center is an open space, and you could see the other floors. We jumped off the balcony and started jumping from one balcony to another while trying to keep the other one from reaching the rooftop.

'I have to defeat this man.' This is what I was thinking, not knowing that this is the last time I'll ever meet the young master Jack in this life.
