Commander Celine

Novel: Blade of Loyalty Celine was not born among the royal family, nor did she hold a noble title. She was the daughter of a great commander who sacrificed his life in defense of the previous king, so the king took care of her upbringing in the palace, but she rejected a life of luxury and chose to take the path of the sword. Since her childhood, people only knew her in the training grounds. She would wake up before sunrise, practice until her hands bled, and then come back the next day as if nothing had happened. When she was twenty, she became the youngest commander of the royal guard in the history of the kingdom, and no one dared to object, as she easily defeated the most skilled knights. --- One morning, King Adrian stood on the balcony of the palace, looking at the soldiers as they prepared to leave. Selene entered wearing her dark green armor, her sword hanging at her waist. The king said with a smile: “Whenever I see you in this armor, I feel like the kingdom is safe.” She answered him calmly: “As long as I breathe... nothing bad will happen to me.” There was a deep respect between them, similar to the bond of a brother and sister, or a leader and a soldier sworn to loyalty until death. --- Weeks later, the king was subjected to an assassination attempt while attending a peace treaty. The moment the arrows shot out from between the trees, Selene was the first to move. She jumped in front of the king, kept him out of danger, and then rushed towards the attackers alone. She didn't wait for anyone. She faced dozens of men alone, until she reached their leader and knocked him down. The morale of the rest collapsed and they fled. When it was all over, the king approached her and said with anger mixed with concern: “I told you to protect yourself too.” She smiled slightly and replied, "If I had to choose between my life and my king's life... I wouldn't hesitate." --- Many rumors have spread about her; Some said she was unbeatable, others said the sword was created for her. But she didn't care what people said. She was content to stand behind the king's throne during meetings, silently monitoring every movement. Everyone knew that whoever wanted to reach the king must first confront Celine. That is why her name was immortalized in history books, not as a queen, nor as a princess... but as the strongest guard commander in the history of the kingdom, and the only woman in whom kings stood reassured because her sword was by their side.
