Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

"No, not just anyone. Have you heard of Mr. Hale? I heard his agency produces a lot of well-trained body guards.

"I was trained once but it did not do me much good. So, I need an outstanding trainer," she told her assistant seriously.

She really did not care what the girl thought about her asking for a trainer from Mr. Hale's agency specifically but that was what she wanted and she did not hesitate to ask.

"I will contact their agency. They actually train one of the best body guards in the kingdom. Most of their body guards work for very wealthy people and popular celebrities.

"It is actually hard to hire one of their trainers. The Palace once invited their star trainer who was once a soldier to give some body guards special classes.

"It was the king's order," her assistant chatted away about the agency. From what she noticed in the lady's tone, she had really strong admiration and respect for Mr. Hale.

That was the popular feeling among ladies of the south towards him and the Hart's family.

"I will like to begin as soon as possible," she told her seriously.

"Ok, I will contact them as soon as we arrive at our destination," her assistant agreed. "What about the teacher sent from the palace?"

"I will take classes with her once a week. You can make corrections to my schedule," Rose replied seriously.

She could easily guess who the teacher her father sent was. She hated that woman so much.

She was in a late fifties and all she taught her was about the tradition of the northern Royal family.

She really did not like listening to her talk for two hours. They sometimes did some practicals but she hated it all.

She used to have a teacher before her mother died. She wondered if her teacher was still alive. It will be really good to have someone from the south as her teacher.

She held back a groan and looked out of the window. This was really tiring. She will learn everything the woman had to teach her fast so the whole thing will be over.

"Yes, your highness. I will make corrections to your schedule," she heard her assistant reply her solemnly.

She found herself feeling very confused by her assistant. One second she was talking about vengeance and advising her always obey her father.

The next second she was showering praise on Liam's security agency. The very next second after that, she was agreed to help her adjust her schedule.

The schedule was the one her father planned for her and the one she advised Rose to obey earlier.

She did not comment on what the girl said but leaned against the back rest and closed her eyes.

"I could help you talk to the leader of the Firm hearts," her assistant suddenly said as they approached the gate of her house.

"Uh . . .?" Rose asked tiredly not understanding what the girl was saying in her relaxed state.

"I know the leader of the Firm hearts. He is a distant relative of mine," her assistant replied. "He is a strong follower of the southern Royal family and he will do anything to ensure that you are safe in school."

Rose was surprised by her assistant's reply. She has been thinking of a way to talk to those students without asking for Liam's help.

"I will talk to him today so you could meet him tomorrow if you want me to," Her assistant offered.

"Oh . . ."

"Your guards can protect you but they can't do much in the school. It is occupied by different people with different motives and feelings towards you."

". . ."

"I think it is only right you have the strongest group of students standing with you.

"Last time I heard, they are in charge of the whole campus territory and they also have a bigger boss.

"No one knows who their boss is but I am sure they will give you the authority over them as soon as you persuade them that you stand with the south.

"They have been the secret guards of every member of the Royal family paying a visit or studying in the Royal University for centuries now.

"It is only right that you become their leader. Things almost fell apart after the late Queen's death that is why they have a boss.

"They had to get one to maintain their position in the school among the students and the teachers."

". . ."

Rose found herself very speechless. She knew her assistant was a complicated character but right now, she was getting more complicated than ever.

"Who is their present boss?" She asked.

"Someone from the Hart family. I think the second son of the Hart family."

"How do you really expect me to fight with some one of such status?"

"You can because you have a higher status than theirs. The Hart family is loyal to the southern royal family. I am sure he won't be an obstacle.

"I actually heard that he was preserving it for it's rightful owner. His father was the boss before he took over.

"Should I talk to the leader? He is also the student Union president and that shows you will only be at an advantage if the group accepts you are their boss."

"I will met with him tomorrow then," Rose agreed although she still felt suspicious of her assistant.

"What do you think about your department library?" Her assistant asked.

"Faculty library is better it," Rose replied seriously. The faculty library had more crowd than the department library. Most people prefer the faculty library especially first year students.

It was not test or examination period very most students don't go to library at this time.

"I will talk to him then," her assistant agreed. She opened the door for her when she got outside.

"Okay."

"I heard the Firm Hearts is managed by your family. Why didn't you tell me?" Rose asked when she called Liam later after meeting with the teacher her father sent.

She was not wrong it was just as she guessed. The teacher had also taught her in the palace and it was the same woman she disliked.

She sat down on the massage chair in front of the ceiling to floor door that led to the balcony.

"You rejected my help," he simply replied.

"Telling me that can not be considered help because you are not even in good terms with your family.

"How could that have meant you were helping me? I found out anyway and I will be meeting their leader tomorrow."

"Be careful," he advised her worriedly.

"I will be careful. I chose a public place to meet him. I heard they are loyal to the southern Royal family."

"Yes, they are but things have changed since your mother died. You might not know how many of them don't support the Royal family anymore."

"That's right but I guess since they have been managed by someone from your family, nothing will go wrong."

"I hope so. I will have people ensure you are safe with them," he promised her seriously.

"Okay, thanks," she appreciated sincerely.

She knew things can't always go the way she wants so she had to be very careful when meeting with those students. She could not predict or guess what the outcome will be.

"I spoke to him and he said his boss is in Star city and agreed to meet you outside school," her assistant told her in a low tone that no one around could hear while she was eating her breakfast.

"Oh. . .," Rose could only say not liking the way things was turning out to be. She thought it will be more straightforward. "Where do they want to meet?"

"He said his boss wants to have dinner with you," Her assistant replied.

She grabbed her phone and went to her contact list. She has not spoken to him in a while but she should have his number or anyway else for her to contact him.

As soon as she found his number, she called him. He did not respond until after her second trial.

"Good morning, Mr. Hart,"  she said trying to be calm and not sound bossy.

"Good morning," he said his voice sounding deeper than ever before. She felt no familiarity with him.

"Could we meet any where else that won't cause much suspicious. I want a place that I can guarantee my safety," she told him directly.

He showed her no friendliness in the way he spoke and she decided not to beat around the bush or try to act familiar with him.

"It is up to you to come. I chose a quiet expensive restaurant. No one will take pictures and it is my territory so I can guarantee your safety.

"I will send the time and location to you. It is up to you to come.. I will simply eat my dinner and leave if you don't come," he told her firmly with no room for negotiation.
