"Excuse me king Collins, you have gotten to the passed the age to have a personal knight... you are already 18 you need to choose-" the assistant jerry went on until he was cut off by sir Collins "ok fine... make it quick.". "Yes sir." His assistant responded quickly.
When jerry came back he had filed in his hands full of applicants to serve sir Collins. When Collins looked up he spat out "what is this!". "I-it's the applicants for service!" By now jerry was shaking in his dress shoes. "Tsk, get my horse ready... we are going to the village!" Jerry was about to protest the idea but Collins gave him a stern look, and jerry went to get everything set up.
When they arrived at the village everyone was minding there own business, shops were busy and the roads were crowded with people. When they walked through the village Collins came upon a home it was small and had clothing lines off the side of the house, but what caught my eye was the man wrestling with his child, if it wasn't for him tapping every time his kid locked him in place he would have thought it was real. I pointed at the house and commanded "get these people to come forth." Jerry and the guards looked shocked and stumbled to get there words out "y-yes s-sir!".
When the family came forth they were confused but scared, my guess is hoping that they weren't in trouble. I sighed "you are not in trouble, I am here to retrieve my knight." The family looked shocked when the man stepped forward "s-sir I think I am a little old for the job." This made me laugh. "Not you the girl!" Everyone that was around gasped in amazement, when the girl stepped forward she had light brown hair that went to her hips that complimented her jade eyes swayed as she bowed. When her parents opened there mouths to protest there worries the girl with excitement in her eyes said "I'm up for the challenge!" I chuckled at her cute dopey grin on her face. "Name and age?" Asked jerry, she replied confidently ��Lennon, 16!" I was shocked she looked much older.
When we got back to the castle and got Lennon settled jerry couldn't hold back any longer "a young girl!". I smiled knowing I would get to share why I chose a girl "no one will expect a girl to work as a knight so they won't expect a fight! That way it will be easier to defeat my brothers."
