I thought that once I'd become his guard, I'd have some time to myself. However, the truth was far more cruel than that.
"I might be exposed to danger at any given second. I need you all to be alert at all times. Make sure no issues arise."
He didn't even give us one day off.
The entire time, we had no choice but to guard him.
I spent several days like this.
Each day, I grew more and more restless.
'Is he here? Could he have already arrived? Damn it... I need to hurry up.'
The only time that I would have for myself was the few hours that he would grant us in order to get some sleep. But even that was relatively short. To make matters worse, it seemed like sneaking out during such a time was impossible.
I wasn't certain of it, but I had an inkling that he was tracking all of my movements in some sort of way.
...Not only that, but it almost felt as though he had eyes and ears everywhere.
In a way, it was creepy.
In such a way, my routine became fixed.
