"About your identity?", Edel released her wrist. The lady just realized he's been holding her. "Your Highness. My apologies that it is something I cannot discuss with you. You may chop off my head if you want to", she said with a serious tone. "Neit...
The princess held another tea party for the female nobles to give her ideas for her coming of age. "Do you often have to attend tea parties like this, Sir Traun?", Raziela looked at the Captain next to him. They were included in the table where the princess and the ladyship were gathered. "It is a request from His Highness so there is no room for protest", Ciaran answered. Raizel looked at the ladyship and appreciated how they wore their dress with posture and gracefulness. If she gets to be replaced by her brother once more, would she be able to leave normally as a woman again? She shook her head and was startled to see a noble lady looking at her.

"It is my first time to see Sir Kirstein. I am surprised that you also agreed to join us at this tea party", the redhead lady a friendly smile. "Sir Traun invited me as well", Raizela bowed her head. "I am Sienna from the House of Scarlet. I am honored to see the hero of Arden in the flesh", she engaged in a conversation. The knight isn't used to talking with ladies so she slightly kicked Ciaran. "I think it is time for us to oversee the knight's training. If you may excuse us", Ciaran stood and bowed. They were allowed to go.
House of Scarlet, I haven't come across their house just like the House of Eliot.
Before leaving, Raziela gave the redhead lady one last glance. It made her remember something during her stay in the North. "You're the one who asked me to rescue you and yet it seems that you wanted to snatch her away from their tea party. Remember, if they will not be the Empress, one of them would be the Queen or even concubines", Ciaran commented.
The two knights walked away. "I am now taller than Sir Kirstein", Ciaran looked down at Raizela who was just his shoulder level.
How do you expect me to compete in height? Brother is taller than me but he won't reach your height as well.
"That lady from a while ago? She said she was from the House of Scarlet. I don't seem to remember such a house. The same is true with the House of Eliot", Raizel took the opportunity to know more about the houses. "You have to visit the library to learn about the changes in the Capital. It is crucial for your work as the Knight of the Crown Prince", the Captain suggested. "The house of Eliot was recently registered and under a special decree from His Majesty. Under some circumstances, a family is allowed to be a part of the nobility if they have contributed greatly to the Empire. The House of Eliot was able to find a cure for the snow disease", Ciaran's words made Raizela stop walking. "And for the House of Scarlet, they are an adopted family from the Empire of the North. There had been rumors that they are hiding the remaining heir to the throne who is a direct descend of the true royal blood of the north ", the Captain crossed his arms seeing mixed expressions from Raizela. "You must be frustrated that the blood of the enemy is freely roaming around our Kingdom. You share sentiments with many nobles", Ciaran patted on her shoulder.
"You look pale. Are you alright?", Ciaran asked worriedly. "I'm fine. I think I had too much sweet", Raizel walked away from the man. The man looked at her burdened back.
