"M-my lady... I... I cannot do that! You are the only heir of one of the most esteemed high noble families - not to mention that you are engaged to the first prince! There are rules, and protocols, in place that bans me from ever enlisting someone in your position...! Ah...!"
The man shook his head and declared while taking a pile of papers from one of the desk's drawers, but he flinched and the words got stuck in his mouth when he looked up and met the glare of the dark-haired girl.
"My good man... didn't I just tell you that I am a daughter of a fallen noble family who wants to enlist because she wants to save herself from selling her body for food? You are mistaking me for someone!"
The girl's voice lowered as she took a few steps toward the desk and the atmosphere in the room became a lot heavier all of a sudden.
"D-didn't you say that you wanted to help our kingdom...?"
*tap*
