A man draped his coat onto my back. Feeling overwhelmed with anxiety, you just stood down and held your basket tightly.

"L-lord Wilheim!"

The crowd gasped as they heard that name.

"Finally an imperial knight is here!, this peasant is planning to steal something from my shop!"

The owner yelled and pointed at your figure. The man chuckled and step up infront of you.

SHIT! An imperial knight?! how possibly worse this day could be?

"I-i was only looking at the beautiful dress, i did not steal anything."

You protested and stood up, acting innocent to do not blew up your cover and act like an innocent girl.

"Well no one's harmed or nothing is stolen mister shop owner, i think you need to let this slide or next time if you accuse an innocent person you might face 1-4 years in prison."

The man said in an threatful voice and you lifted up your face to see a handsome man dressed in uniform with a cocky smirk and you quickly looked away your face turning into an slight blush as he smiled at you sincerely.

What was that?

"Tsk, fine."

The shop owner sneered and locked his shop doors and the crowd quickly disappeared. Phew! what a relief!

Dusting off the dirt from your clothes you started walking away.

"Aren't you going to thank me miss?"

The man asked and crossed his arms looking at you head to toe.

"I did not ask for your help."

I pointed at him and started walking away in fury.

"And also, you can have your coat back."

You coldly added and dropped in on the ground.

"Sir Isaac Wilheim is my name and don't forget to repay your debt to me one day!"

The knight yelled and you started sprinting out of that street dispersing onto the crowd.

Half an hour later you left the royal capital after that incident you find yourself wandering in the forest with an unknown trail that led to an grassy path to an mesmerizing waterfall.

What a good place to wash your clothes and take a bath.

Surely no one will see if i have a quick dip right?

Still feeling irritated, you removed your clothes and dipped yourself onto the waterfall lake.

The temperature of the water makes you feel relaxed and suddenly all of your problems in life seemed to doesn't exist anymore.

Humming yourself to an song you danced amongst the aligned rocks on the falls as your flowy brown hair and dainty fingers move to an arabesque position on top of the highest rock.

You used to do balled lessons before but you have forgotten what are the other steps are so you just compromised making own steps and positions of yours.

Suddenly you heard rustling in the bushes and you quickly covered yourself with your wet clothes.

"WHO'S THERE!!!!!?"

I yelled as a big figure started emerging in the shadows. You quickly pulled out an dagger on your dress's pocket as a defense just incase someone attacked you.

Oh, never mind it's just a deer.

Despite your dress still being soaked in water, you wore it. Well at least it doesn't smell like rotten anymore you thought to yourself.
