High fantasy body guard au but make it arranged marriage

[His mother had agreed to this some years ago: that Trevor Belmont, the youngest Belmont and their only heir, would come across the border from Trantoul to Wallachia. The political tides were starting to turn in a way that did not favor them, and there was a real fear of something happening. Under Wallachia's protection, Trevor could study and learn from Wallachia's residents - the more seemingly monsterous and feared - and would wed Lisa's only son to ensure the Belmont's safety. It would be for a human lifetime, and was a matter more ceremonial than anything else. Other partners could be discussed between the boys when they felt they needed to. Trevor's other needs would be seen to as well, like tradtional education. Lisa wouldn't deprive any child of that.

Trevor arrived when he was twelve and Alucard was ten, and since then, Alucard has seen him rarely. A week or two at most when he's been between his studies. Alucard is twenty now, well studied himself and mostly occupied with the kingdom's architecture and infrastructure - he's good at it, and spends much of his time working alongside his father to implement new projects and designs.

Today, Lisa and his father have retired for reasons Alucard absolutely knows about and wants to ignore. They're an overly romantic couple, and it's a hell of a thing to live up to. Trevor is in the castle for longer than normal now, due to the cold and his next course of study being water monsters. It isn't the right time.

But it is the right time for you to get to know each other Lisa had said when the matter was decided upon. Try to see if you can be friends. That's all I can ask of you.

For now, being friends means going hunting. The castle is in need of extra meat, and Alucard knows where the wild boars run. He's led them both on horseback some ways from the castle, although it is still visible from the forest.]


...You're not too cold, are you?

[Snow has settled over the land, making tracking so much easier.]
