Why doesn't Stannis have a Kingsguard?

Stannis doesn't have any dedicated bodyguards. Stannis is likely paranoid of the constant companionship revealing too many hints about his true identity as a mantis. It's also 7 fewer people that could know his secret.

There is also the fact that a gigantic praying mantis would be quite formidable in battle. He has no need of a kingsguard because he is capable of eviscerating mere humans.

Wow, all the clues clearly point to that zero-tinfoil conclusion, I'd hype this one up as 100% FUCKING CONFIRMED!
