Rota's First Female Knight | Sir Aaron x Reader [Pokémon]

|| Chapter 26 ||

[Edited]

----------------------------------------------------

Catherine had finally left you all in peace, for today at least, but the mood had completely been ruined. "You guys can go on ahead, Doni and I will stay to finish the letter." Camilla was the one who spoke up first, finally breaking the suffocating silence.

"Are you sure, Lady Camilla?" Liliana asked, not certain if the caramel haired female was only being considerate towards everyone else. Then again, she and the blond knight were doing all the work, so there wasn't really any use for the rest of you here. "Yeah don't worry about it. Actually, shouldn't someone check on Kai and Rouen?"

"I could do it. I think I know where they are." You suggested, having a pretty good idea of the two's whereabouts. After hearing Kai's story about his past, you doubted they had good connections with the people of Grona, so the only plausible thing they could have done in his situation was to go ask Aramina for help. Going to go look for them also seemed like a good opportunity to get Catherine out of your head.

"I think it's better if Liliana and I go check on them. You should stay here with Sir Aaron." Fotula spoke, looking at you with an expressionless face. Even though there was barely any emotion on it, she meant well; She wanted you and Aaron to spend more time together and get closer. No one was stupid, and no one included her. She had a rough idea of what Catherine was trying to do, and there was no way she was allowing that to happen.

"I don't know Fotula... The place isn't exactly something Liliana will feel comfortable with." You said unsurely. After all, Aramina was a prostitute even if she was a very kind person and lived in the red light district which is full of corrupted people. Not exactly the best place for a girl who is afraid of the touch of men.

"Y-You shouldn't worry about me! You have helped me many times, so let me do you a favor for once!" The silver haired female exclaimed both shyly yet somewhat excitedly. It's not like you were trying to make her feel indebted, but if she was willing to, then why should you oppose to it. "Alright then, but be careful."

After agreeing that it should be those two princess candidates to go look for the knights, you told Fotula the directions to Aramina's apartment and which locations she should avoid if possible. You had your doubts leaving those two go by themselves, but then again, Fotula was rather skilled, especially in combat.

"We will be off, then." The ravenette informed the rest of you before leaving the balcony with Liliana. Loraine took Myron's hand, told the rest of you that they were heading back to their rooms in the rare case you'd need them and left as well.

"I think I'll go get some rest in my room too..." Aaron said unsurely. His puzzled expression that somehow showed a little bit of exhaustion in it reminded you of the way Catherine was being overly touchy-feely with him, and even went as far to touch him in inappropriate places in the open.

This wasn't exactly why Fotula offered to go look for Rouen and Kai in your place, but it's not like you could force the dark blue haired knight to stay with you against his will. In the end, you let him go ahead and surprisingly were soon approached by both your and his Lucario. "Brat, may I have a word with you?"

"I guess?" It sounded more like a question than anything else. It was sort of out of character for the male Pokémon to be wanting to bond with you. "Let us go talk somewhere else." The mostly blue creature added, leading you away from Doni and Camilla. It was also rather strange that he was being polite all of a sudden.

And so, the two at the table were left alone to write their letter. "I really don't like Catherine." Camilla commented as she neared to the end of what they needed to mention in words on the paper. A heavy sigh left Doni's lips before he had to agree with the younger: "Believe me, I don't either."
