"Who are you and what's your purpose for approaching His Royal Highness?!" a Knight asked with a blade pointed at Vivian's face.
"I -- I --" Vivian, who was still shocked, scared and confused, struggled to give out an answer.
"Speak!" the Knight said and raised the blade.
"Stand down," said Ronaldo who was heading towards them.
As for Caspian, he was being nursed by the butler and maid.
"Supreme Captain," the Knights said and gave a slight bow.
When Ronaldo finally reached them, the Knight who was interrogating Vivian stepped back to give him space.
Ronaldo stared at Vivian.
Her hair was tied into a braid and then tied together but was now disheveled. There were even leaves and vines sticking over them just like her body. And for her skin that wasn't covered by her gear or clothing, there were thin red lines on them.
His eyes then noticed the pendant hanging around her neck.
It was a copper-colored rectangular shape with a height of an inch and a width of 3 inches and had the initials "I" engraved on it.
"Adventurer, what's your name?"
"Na--" Vivian almost said her original body's name but stopped mid-way.
"Vivian, sir."
"Mind your manners, you are in the presence of the Supreme Captain of Luxen City!" one of the Knights barked.
Ronaldo looked at the Knight and said, "It's fine."
"But Supreme Captain --"
Ronaldo didn't say anything and glared at the Knight.
The Knight quickly took and step back and looked down.
Ronaldo returned his gaze to Vivian.
"Why did you run to us?"
"I-I was in the forest.... I was... I was killing monsters and then... I got overwhelmed... Supreme Captain..."
Ronaldo didn't speak, but the expression on his face told her to continue.
Vivian took a deep breath and cleared her throat before continuing.
"I ran away. I just ran away to create some distance. But the next thing I knew, more monsters were chasing me so I just continued running until I accidentally bumped into you guys, si-- I mean, Supreme Captain."
"What quest were you doing?"
"Quest?" Vivian asked with a confused expression painted on her face.
"You're an adventurer, correct?"
Vivian finally understood what Ronaldo was saying.
"I wasn't on a quest, Supreme Captain. I was killing monsters as a form of training while heading to the city."
"What's your purpose for going to the city?"
"To earn money as an adventurer and also hone my skills even further."
"Where are you from?"
Vivian's heart sank.
She cursed all matter of curse words to the Zhey/Zhem God for not giving her the general information about this world.
The gears inside her head went overdrive as she tried to search for an answer.
If I die here or get thrown into prison, then there's nothing I can do...
