The Secret Guard Broke into the Eastern Palace

I took my brother’s place to join the Secret Guard camp, and it was supposed to be just for one day. But that very night, the Crown Prince was targeted by assassins. Since I have no martial arts skills, I had no choice but to stay right by his side to protect him-literally providing “close protection”.

The Crown Prince furrowed his brow and gave my chest a suspicious glance. Nervously, I swallowed and explained, “Well… I didn’t eat enough today, so I took two steamed buns from the canteen.”
