Hunter "If I step aside as her bodyguard… what will I do?" Heero was stunned at the beauty he glimpsed when Milliardo smiled and wondered why Chang had not made a move to establish his claim. Did Chang see something others missed? The daughters of high ranking nobles, politicians and the rich and famous made it plain they were available and soon the official mourning period would end and Chang would find the King of Sanc the prey of every female hunter in Europe looking for position and prestige only being a Queen could give. //I must talk to Chang. Milliardo is offering me something I thought beyond me and if I have the courage to act on that opportunity… I will owe him. Can I offer for Relena? Do I dare? I’m not like the others who hang around her, trying to interest her.// She was polite, refined, exquisite… A Princess. No wonder the rich and famous vied for her attention. What could she see in him? "Heero?" "Sorry. I was thinking." "Someone approached me recently with a request I believe will interest you. You cannot attempt to court her if you remain on her security detail. If you wish to take your relationship to a more personal level you should consider the position. It is a field I believe you are uniquely suited to." "My fields of expertise are limited." "You have many skills but few actual qualifications and licenses to show those skills. In most employment opportunities that would present a problem but the lack of a paper trail can be an advantage." Heero frowned. "I don’t understand." "Have you heard of Hunter?" Heero sucked in a deep breath. Hunter was a legend. No one knew who Hunter was or if it was a he or a she. Heero suspected Hunter to be not one but many people and that more than one country had claim to an agent using the code name. His curiosity had been aroused when intelligence had been received detailing a threat to Relena and the source had been code named Hunter. "Yes." Cautious. Milliardo smiled, a brief curve of lips and that moon silvered head bent to whisper to Heero. "He has requested the opportunity to train his successor. You have many skills that could keep Sanc safe and enable us to work toward maintaining peace. Hunter requests you consider becoming a part of the Sanc Intelligence Service and that you give some thought to training to replace him. You do not have to answer immediately. I do remind you that there are no regulations to ban intelligence operatives from dating a Princess." "I… A Secret Agent must remain just that… secret." Milliardo’s smile was angelic. "One can work in intelligence and not be seen to be a field agent." "You know who Hunter is." "I have known Hunter from the day Sanc fell." End |
