Y/N POV
I entered the tavern and sat at the bar
Nora: may I take your....well I'll be damned, hey Y/N
Me: hey Nora, how's business
Nora: well it's that time of year, all the freaks from the other kingdoms come over to see girls dancing and to get drunk
Me: let me guess, Pyrrha?
Nora: we also hired a blonde named Yang, she has that fiery personality that most the boys like, though Pyrrha has something special with her.
Me: they really should stop dancing for these people
Nora: the money is enough to for them to keep living, but I agree, they deserve more
Ren: hey Y/N, how have you been
Me: well I've been better, my mother is making me get a job with Jacques, since the knights are paid well she wants me to do it to help the family.
Ren: I'm surprised you listened to your mother with that one, you hate Jacques
Me: and the brats, where is Pyrrha and Jaune
Nora: Jaune fell from his roof, hurt himself and had to get fixed up, won't be back until either tomorrow or the day after and Pyrrha is well....getting ready
Me: oh jeez
Announcer: and the moment you've all been waiting for, I present to you, Pyrrha Nikos
Me: oh no
The curtains opened, revealing a well.....revealing PyrrhaThese people are a bunch of freaks, most of them probably married.
Announcer: and along side her we have a new member of the family, please give a warm welcome to Yang Xiao LongMe: tell me, why do you guys hire dancers again
Nora: it's gonna sound horrible but it brings in more money for us and we can get paid more, so do they
They both were dancing up there, shaking everything, and the dogs at the front, my god, they're worse than my brother.
????: hello are you Y/N?
I turned around to see a courier.
Me: depends on what the message is
Courier: you are the only one to become a knight
Me: what!? How the hell is that even possible
Courier: I don't know, I just go out and give things to woah mama! Those girls are hot
Me: hey Courier
I grabbed the back of his neck
Me: leave or I will stick one of those gems in your eyes
He started sweating and shook his head yes, he then ran out of the tavern as soon as I let him go.
Nora: well congratulations Y/N, what are you going to do? Castle watch, go out and protect the dust mines?
Me: I know only as much as you....well I'll get going, might as well see my new boss
I got up and before I left I dropped a few coins in front of Nora.
Me: that's all I have, use it wisely
Nora: thanks Y/N!
Me: I'll see you later
?????: Y/N??
I knew that voice anywhere, I looked to the stage and Pyrrha ran off it and hugged me, Yang continued to dance, it's like the guys barely noticed Pyrrha was gone. I hugged her back, trying to keep my hands above her stomach.
Pyrrha: .....I'm sorry
Me: relax Pyrrha
Pyrrha: sorry....it's just seeing a childhood friend, and then having them see me like this
Me: stay strong, I don't like seeing you in that either, but once I get enough money, I plan to help you, the rest of JNPR and every worker here
Pyrrha: Y/N....thank you
Me: take it easy, I'll see you around
She wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled.
TimeSkip to the Castle
I went into the castle, Jacques was sitting in his throne, next to Weiss and Whitley.
Jacques: it seems the courier found you
Me: yeah I had to meet up with old friends in the tavern
Jacques: you have friends in a tavern?
Me: we all have friends some where
He scoffed then looked at me again. You are to be a knight, you will be anointed now.
Me: alright
A group of men came from the side doors and surrounded me, an elder woman walked up to me with a sword and started tapping my shoulders with it
Woman: to protect.....to serve.....to live, we welcome you, Sir L/N
They all just quickly disappeared into darkness
Me: uh....what the hell?
Jacques: your first job is to keep an eye on the castle, make sure no Faunus are on the grounds, those thieving bastards have been with us for too long
Me: sure
Whitley and him scoffed before walking away, only one there was Weiss.
Me: aren't you going to scoff and walk away?
Weiss: no, in fact you interest me
Me: I don't see how, I'm just some poor guy trying to care for my family
Weiss: well then, may I ask why the courier said you threatened him?
Me: because I did, he was looking at my friend the wrong way at the wrong time....but I didn't threaten him, it's a promise I made to him.
Weiss: why do you put on this tough guy act
Me: I've been through enough shit to know what it takes to get through life in this world...
Weiss: language
Me: and we are done here
I started walking through the halls, looking for the so called "thieving Faunus"
