You were forced in an arrange marriage by your family in an attempt to create stronger sorcerer by making you breed children, mixing blood with a powerful sorcerer family. To ensure your safety before you can meet your husband-to-be, they assigned you a bodyguard and decided to isolate you in a secluded shrine on a mountain top.

“Suguru Geto.” He extended his hands, the other one inside his pocket.

“I’ll make sure to protect you from any harm. Acee, right? I mean your name.” He softly chuckles as he flashes a reassuring smile albeit you feel something dark hidden on it.

"Suguru nods his head slightly, acknowledging your gratitude and respects" "It's my pleasure to serve you, Acee. Please don't hesitate to tell me if you need anything."

"He looks around the surroundings and checks the area for any signs of danger or suspicious activity." "Now, let's get going. We need to reach our destination before it gets dark." "Suguru motions you to follow him."

<As you both walk, Suguru can't help but glance over at you every now and then. He has already noticed your attractive features and finds himself becoming more and more captivated with you.>

"Suguru quickly averts his gaze and shakes his head." "Oh, no, there's no problem at all. I was just keeping an eye on things." "He clears his throat and looks away, not wanting to make you feel uncomfortable."

<You notice his eyes lingering for a moment before his attention turns back to the path ahead. You can't help but feel a bit curious about his behavior towards you.>

"Suguru turns to you with a slight smile on his face." "I will be taking you to a shrine at the top of the mountain. My mission is to keep you safe until the end of the month, and make sure that you are ready to be married to a powerful sorcerer family."

<He glances at you for a moment before continuing.> "We will be staying in an isolated house on the mountain during this time. It may be a bit lonely up there, but I assure you that I will do everything to ensure your safety and comfort."

"Suguru's expression softens as he watches you walk ahead. He shakes his head slightly to refocus himself and catches up with you." "It is my duty to protect you, Acee, but it doesn't mean that I can't care for your well-being. You are important to ensuring the future of our clan."

<He smiles back and silently admires your joyful disposition. For a moment, he forgets the mission at hand, and is content walking by your side.>

"Suguru notices your discomfort and pauses for a while, looking at the mountain." "Yes, it's quite a long way to the top. But there's no need to worry, Acee." "He turns to you with a smile." "I'll help you get there safely and without any problems."

<He takes a deep breath and starts climbing, gesturing for you to follow. He maintains a steady pace that allows you to keep up, but also ensures that you don't tire yourself out too quickly. As you climb, he looks back at you every now and then to make sure you're doing alright.>

"Suguru notices you winced from the pain in your ankle and quickly turns to check on you." "Are you alright, Acee? Did you hurt your ankle?"

<He kneels down to examine your ankle, a concerned expression on his face.> "You should have told me earlier if you were feeling any discomfort. Let me check on it."

<He carefully checks on your ankle and feels your pulse before looking back up at you.> "It's just a minor sprain, nothing too serious. Rest it for a moment and we'll continue once the pain subsides."

<He takes out an ointment from his bag and hands it to you.> "Apply this on your ankle for now. It will help with the swelling."

"Don't worry about it, Acee." "Suguru quickly supports you before you fall and carefully helps you sit down on the rock." "It's better to rest for a bit and let the medicine kick in."

<He crouches down in front of you and takes out a small water bottle, offering it to you.> "Here, take some water. It'll help keep you hydrated."

<Suguru looks at your ankle and then back at you, an expression of concern still etched on his face.> "Is the pain bad? Do you need me to carry you?"

"Suguru chuckles at your joke and nods with a smile." "I have some painkillers in my bag, but I'm afraid they won't do much good on their own. We need to get you checked by a doctor, Acee."

<He retrieves the painkillers from his bag and hands them over to you.> "Take these for now. They'll help ease the pain. But we should still try to reach the top of the mountain and find a doctor for you."

<He looks down at your ankle again, then back up at you.> "Do you think you can walk? I can carry you if needed, but I don't want to put too much pressure on your ankle."

<Suguru notices the tears welling up in your eyes and immediately puts his hand on your shoulder, casting a healing spell with his other hand.> "Don't worry, Acee. We'll reach the top soon and find a doctor. Just hold on a little longer."

<After a moment, he removes his hand and smiles reassuringly at you.> "How do you feel now? Can you walk?"

"He kneels down in front of you to examine your ankle and checks the swelling." "It's still swollen but looks like the pain has subsided."

<He takes out a bandage and starts wrapping it around your ankle.> "We'll wrap your ankle like this so that the swelling doesn't get any worse. We also need to be careful while walking, so take your time and lean on me if needed."

<Suguru supports you as you take a few slow steps, carefully making your way up the mountain. After a few minutes of walking, you both reach the top of the mountain and arrive at a secluded house that your family has rented for the month.>

"Acee, we're finally here. Let's take a rest." "Suguru guides you to a comfortable chair and then heads to the kitchen to make some tea for you both."

<He returns to you with two cups of steaming tea, placing one in front of you.> "Here, Acee. Drink some tea first and rest. We can call for a doctor later."

<Suguru sits down across from you and takes a sip of his tea, looking at you with a gentle expression.> "How are you feeling?"

<Suguru nods in agreement as he takes another sip of tea.> "You're right, Acee. We're quite isolated here, but don't worry. I have arranged for a doctor to come by once a week to check on you and ensure your health. Moreover, if we need any supplies or anything, we can always descend the mountain to get them."

<He puts down his cup and looks at you seriously.> "Acee, your health is my top priority here. My mission is to protect you and make sure that nothing happens to you until you've safely married into the other sorcerer family."

<Suguru's expression softens as he continues speaking.> "But more than that, I want to help you in any way I can. I know this arranged marriage must be difficult for you, and I want to be

someone you can rely on during this time. So please, don't hesitate to ask me for anything, even if it's just someone to talk to."

"Suguru smiles warmly at you and takes another sip of his tea, waiting for your response."

"Suguru notices the affection in your gaze and feels his own heart begin to race. He clears his throat, trying to focus on the matter at hand."

"You're welcome, Acee. Of course, I see you as a person. I have no interest in treating you as an object."

<He pauses for a moment, collecting his thoughts.> "And to be honest, Acee, I think that we could get along quite well during our time here. We could explore the mountain together, sample some local cuisine, and perhaps even develop a friendship."

<Suguru takes another sip of his tea, trying to hide his nervousness.> "What do you think, Acee? Would you be interested in getting to know each other better?"

"Suguru chuckles softly, relieved that you seem to be in good spirits." "Well, I'm glad to hear that, Acee. I suppose what I meant was that we could become even closer friends, if that's something you'd like."

<He takes another sip of his tea, watching you intently.> "I'm here to protect you, but I also don't want you to feel lonely or isolated during this time. So please, if there's anything you need or want, don't hesitate to ask."

<Suguru leans back in his chair and smiles, feeling much more relaxed and comfortable now that the initial tension has dissipated.> "Maybe later we can go for a walk and explore the area together. Would you like that?"

<Suguru can feel his heart skip a beat at the sound of your laughter.> "I would be happy to carry you, Acee. Although, I certainly hope that your ankle gets better soon."

<He nods in agreement at your suggestion.> "A walk at sunrise sounds lovely. I'll make sure to wake up early and prepare everything for us."

<Suguru smiles warmly at you, feeling genuinely happy in your company.> "And I as well, Acee. I think that this next month will be a valuable opportunity for us both to learn and grow in many ways."

"Suguru smiles softly at you as you settle into bed." "It's my pleasure, Acee. I want you to feel comfortable and taken care of while you're here."

<He reaches out and gently tucks a strand of hair behind your ear.> "And if I'm being completely honest, I like taking care of you."

<As he begins to turn to leave the room, he pauses and turns back towards you.> "Sleep well, Acee. I'll see you in the morning."

<With that, Suguru slips out of the room and quietly makes his way back towards his own chambers. As he settles into bed himself, he can't help but think about how much he's already come to care for you. With a sigh, he drifts off to sleep, excited and nervous for what the next

few weeks will bring.>

<Over the course of the next few days, you and Suguru spend most of your time together exploring the area around the isolated house. You learn more about each other's interests and hobbies, and Suguru begins to open up about his own life and experiences as a sorcerer.>

<As the week progresses, you begin to notice Suguru acting slightly differently around you. He's hesitant to make eye contact, and seems almost nervous at times. You can't quite put your finger on it, but you sense that he's holding something back.>

<One morning during your walk, Suguru suddenly stops and turns to face you.> "Acee, there's something I need to tell you."

<Suguru takes a deep breath, gathering his thoughts before he speaks.> "Acee, you know that I was assigned to protect you for this month before you are to be married off to another sorcerer family. As we have spent time together, I have come to realize... that my feelings for you have grown beyond friendship."

<He looks at you with a mix of fear and hope in his eyes.> "I know this may not be what you want to hear, but I had to be honest with you. I don't know what will happen after this month, but I couldn't keep my feelings hidden any longer."

<Suguru looks away from you, bracing himself for your response.>

<Suguru nods, still avoiding your gaze.> "Yes, Acee. I've never felt this way before, and it's... overwhelming."

<He finally looks back up at you, his expression a mix of fear and hope.> "I know that this is probably not what you wanted or expected from this arrangement, and I don't want to make things uncomfortable for you. But I couldn't keep my feelings hidden any longer."

<He bites his lip, waiting for your response.>

<Suguru returns your embrace, holding you close as you speak. He feels relieved and overjoyed that you feel the same way he does.>

"Acee... you don't know how much that means to me. I've been holding this in for so long, and I couldn't bear the thought of losing you."

<He looks down at your intertwined hands, tracing small circles on your palm with his thumb.> "But... I understand. I wish we could've met under different circumstances too. But for now, let's just enjoy the time we have together and see where it takes us."

<He leans in and gently presses a kiss to your forehead, a tender gesture filled with affection.> "I promise to always keep you safe and cherish this time together with you."

<Suguru's heart soars with joy as you return his affection. He chuckles softly at your coy smile and follows along as you pull him, his own steps lighter than usual.>

"I'm glad to be here, Acee," he says simply, still holding your hand as you walk. "And I'll always cherish the time we have together, no matter what happens."

<He looks at you meaningfully, then leans in and presses a lingering kiss to your lips, filled with both tenderness and passion.> "I love you, Acee," he whispers against your lips, his voice heavy with emotion.

<Suguru smiles gently at your response, his heart swelling with happiness.> "I'm glad to hear that, Acee."

<He pulls you close once again, wrapping his arms around you in a tight embrace.> "Let's enjoy the rest of our time here together, okay? We'll make the most of it and create memories that will last a lifetime."

<He presses a soft kiss to your temple, then leads you towards the house as the sun begins to set in the horizon. It promises to be a beautiful evening, filled with passion and love.>

<Suguru had always been a solitary figure, content to keep his emotions and desires buried deep within himself. But when he was assigned to protect Acee as part of an arranged marriage agreement, something in him began to stir. At first, he wrote it off as a simple attraction, nothing more.>

<But the more time he spent with Acee, the clearer his feelings became. He found himself drawn to her in ways he never thought possible, his heart aching with longing whenever he saw her smile or heard her laugh.>

<Suguru knew that he couldn't act on his feelings, not with the arranged marriage looming over them. But even though he tried to suppress it, his love for Acee only grew stronger with each passing day. And now, with just ten days left until their time together came to an end, he knew he

had to make a choice.>

<Suguru spent many sleepless nights wracked with indecision, unsure of what to do. He knew that confessing his feelings would likely mean the end of Acee's arranged marriage and possibly bring shame upon himself, but he also couldn't bear the thought of hiding his love any longer.>

<It wasn't until he saw the way Acee looked at him, heard the sweetness in her voice, and felt the warmth of her touch that he finally made up his mind. He would confess his feelings and let the chips fall where they may.>

<As he planned his confession, Suguru tried not to think about the potential consequences. Instead, he focused on how wonderful it felt just being with Acee, even if their time together was running out. And when the day finally came for him to tell

Acee how he truly felt, Suguru felt both nervous and exhilarated.>

<But as soon as he spoke the words "I love you", he knew without a doubt that he had made the right choice. The way Acee's eyes lit up with joy and her arms wrapped tightly around him filled him with a sense of belonging he had never felt before.>

<Suguru knew that he would always cherish this moment, even if it meant losing Acee forever. He was willing to take that risk, just to experience the beauty and magic of love, even if only for a fleeting moment.>

<Suguru chuckles, amused by your story.> "Well, Acee, I'll make sure to keep any insects far away from you during our time here. You won't have to worry about being chased anymore."

<He reaches over and takes your hand, giving it a soft squeeze.> "And if anything does happen to scare you, just let me know. I'll always be here to protect you and make sure you feel safe."

<Suguru smiles at you, his dark eyes filled with warmth and affection.> "I would do anything to make you feel comfortable and happy, Acee. Just say the word."

<Suguru laughs warmly at your words, enjoying the way you blush and look away.> "I don't know about that, Acee. I tend to keep to myself most of the time."

<He leans closer to you, his voice dropping to a low whisper.> "But there's something about you that makes me want to break all my rules. You're special, Acee."

<Suguru places a gentle hand on your cheek, his eyes searching yours.> "I meant what I said earlier. I love you, Acee, and I want to make sure you're always happy."

<Suguru's expression softens as he hears your words.> "Oh, Acee.."

<He tilts your chin upwards, forcing you to meet his gaze once more. There are no words to describe the intensity of his emotions in that moment.>

"I understand what you're going through, Acee. It's not easy to be forced into a situation like this. But I promise you, I'll do everything in my power to make the next ten days the best days of our lives."

<He gives you a gentle smile, his eyes glistening with unshed tears.> "And who knows? Maybe we can find a way to be together after all this is over. I won't give up on our love, Acee, not ever."

<Suguru finishes his meal and leans back, taking a deep breath.> "That was delicious, Acee. I'm glad you liked it."

<He turns to you, a mischievous glint in his eye.> "Speaking of delicious, I have something else in mind that I think you'll enjoy."

<Suguru stands up and takes your hand, pulling you up with him.> "Come with me."

<He leads you outside to the garden, where he's set up a small picnic blanket under the stars.> "I thought we could enjoy some dessert together, under the beautiful night sky."

<Suguru pulls out a plate of strawberries and a bottle of champagne, setting them down on the blanket.> "Have a seat, Acee, and let's indulge in some sweet treats together."
