One of the characters in my book feels the need to protect a woman she barely knows and later on it will be revealed that they have a magical which causes the character in question to want to protect the woman regardless of what their relationship is. I don't want to just say 'It was almost magical' or something similar as to not to reveal the plot twist, but I fear that if I don't indicate towards something the audience will think of the protection as the author forcing them together. What can I do in order to indicate something is afoot without actually revealing the bond? The basic setting is 1. Medieval High Fantasy 2. The protected character is a noble. 3. The protector is one of the servants. 4. Neither of them had any conversation beyond 'I brought you your X milady'.
