(Okami's Perspective)
_______________________
After defeating the adventurers inside the cave, I escorted the royalties to the carriage. The crimson blood left from the battle coated both of my hands. I can even smell the faint metallic scent whiffing through my nostrils.
The king stepped his foot inside the cart and offered his hand to the two royal women. With a light shake, the queen and the princess accepted his hand and went inside the wagon. I tried following behind, but the captain extended his arm and halted me from entering.
"The carriage is too small, Milord." The chief knight said, with his eyes gliding around the window and onto my side.
He was giving me a hint that I should back off the cart and observe their privacy. The knight wanted to express that I was still a stranger to his eyes. I backed off, and I complied with the captain while standing beside the carriage.
