As the sun began to rise, the window in Noir and Polpo room shine the inside of their huge room entirely. Noir seems to wake up first from the sun shining their room. Sheila bust open the door as Polpo jump from his bed from the noise. As his face hit the ground beside his bead, as it seems both Noir and Polpo are now awake.
"Get yourself ready! I'm gonna wait downstairs!" Sheila said calmly as she left the room leaving the door open.
"You okey there Polpo?"
Polpo just answered with a thumbs up as his face is still on the floor. Noir takes his towel as he went outside and walk through the hallway. Noir looks lost looking at all around him not knowing where the bathroom is. Noir proceed to look at the stairs and screamed out.
"MS. SHEILA! Where is the bathroom?!"
"Just keep going straight from your room, it should be on the left!"
"Thank you!"
Noir walk straight and look at the left, as a fancy door is in front of him. Even the fancy carved white door in front of him made Noir in a state of shock in the bright morning. As Noir open the door, the inside is something he never ever saw. The bathroom is huge, on the left there is a fancy sink with a mirror. To the right seems to be a bathtub in a square made on the floor, but it seems there is no water in it. Just a view steps ahead on his left is a fancy silver toilet and on the right is some sort of glass box.
Noir enter the glass box as there is 2 stone with rune on it. The stone on the left had a red rune while the stone on the right had a blue rune. As Noir pressed the red stone, a gush of warm water came from on top of him like a shower.
"Woah!"
Noir tries to press the red stone again as the warm water stop. He tries the blue stone as a cold water gushing from above similar to the red stone do. Noir instantly push the blue stone again and push the red stone.
"Ughh.. I hate cold!"
Noir began to wash himself up with the warm water as a view minutes pass by, Noir came out from the bathroom and went to his room. As he enter his bedroom, he could see Polpo still had his face on the ground.
"Get yourself up Polpo, bring one of my towel with you."
Polpo thumbs up as he stand up, he takes one of Noir towel and ran through the hallway. As Noir shouted before he left the room.
"Keep going straight till you see a fancy white door on the left!"
"Okey!"
As Noir start to get ready for the day, he could hear a very loud scream. Noir peek from his room, at the end of the hallway Polpo came out from the bathroom all excited.
"NOIR! NOIR! THERE'S COLD AND WARM WATER FROM ABOVE! IS THERE A MAGE BEHIND THE WALL THAT CAST THOSE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT?! IT WAS SO COOL!"
"SHUT UP YOU TWO!" Sheila shouted from the floor below.
"SORRY MS. SHEILA!"
Noir sigh off "Just... Get yourself cleaned up. We can go down together and ask about it to Ms. Sheila haha!"
Polpo just thumps up as he enter the bathroom again and scream excitedly as he seems to enjoy it. Noir just smiles as he proceed to continue preparing himself for the day. Noir use a brown commoner clothes with a thin leather sleeveless jacket. As Polpo enter the room and start to quickly use his clothes.
They both start to walk down the stairs together as they turn left to see a huge kitchen and beside it is some sort of living room where Sheila is chilling with a tea on the table while looking out the window. Noir and Polpo approach her and sit next to the fluffy and comfy chair.
"WOAH! WHAT IS THIS SOFT CHAIR?!" Polpo shouted
Sheila sigh off "God dammit you two kids are so stupid sometimes..."
"Heheh, anyway Ms. Sheila what's that two stone with rune upstairs inside the glass box?"
"Glass box? Oh you mean the shower?! That's a magic item made by an inventor in Aslantan long ago, he's away in another town now but he is amazing at inventing helpful everyday stuff!"
"Ohhh, soo... What does he invent?"
"Well for example, that shower box, this big comfy chair that he called 'Sofa', and then that thing over in the kitchen that create fire with just rotating the stone rune" Sheila pointed at a big white box with a unique rune on it and 4 places unique part for the stove.
"Ah I see... Wait it create fire without using any magic?!"
"Yep!" Sheila said calmly as she sips her tea.
In the table there is a couple of sandwich with some beef slices and lettuce and some spicy and sweet sauce on both bread. Polpo takes one of them, but he open the sandwich and take out the lettuce and put it back together. But before Polpo could take a bite, Sheila stare at him coldly.
"Put. The. Damn. Lettuce. Back."
Noir and Polpo shiver down their spine, as Polpo open the sandwich again and put the lettuce back and close it together. Polpo taken the bite slowly as he is still shivering from Sheila threat. Sheila keeps on sipping her tea calmly enjoying her morning watching the view on the window. Noir looks toward the window to see a beautiful scenery of Aslantan. It seems the house is on a high ground or hill slide as the view they both see are almost the entire kingdom.
"Woah..."
"Like what you see kiddo?"
"Yeah... It's.. Beautiful..."
"Indeed, this is why I like to spend my morning here."
Noir takes a sandwich as he keep on watching the scenery from the window. Noir slowly eat his sandwich as he enjoy the view. A view minutes pass by as they all enjoy their breakfast together. Sheila stand up as she went into the room beside the kitchen. But before she left she turn to look at both Noir and Polpo.
"Get yourself ready, I will bring you to somewhere cool this afternoon!"
Noir and Polpo jump around the sofa in happiness and excitement. They both went upstairs and went to their room and take their own stuff. This time around Noir taken the shortsword while Polpo taken nothing and just trust his hands. Noir and Polpo went down the stairs to see Sheila prepare with her black cape with Aslantan symbol on it, and formal clothes like a knight.
"What take you two so long!"
"I'm sorry Ms. Sheila, I had to find my sword because apparently SOMEONE hides it."
"Hey! I didn't know that we're gonna switch weapon just like that!"
"Alright, alright you two stop it. Let's get going already!"
As Sheila open the door, there is no longer two knight guarding the front of the house. Noir and Polpo wonder where the two knight went but they didn't dare to ask at the moment and just follow Sheila.
They all keep on walking passing through so many building going to the north side of Aslantan. Noir ponder to himself for a moment that the way they are heading is at the enormous castle that the royal family lived in. As they stood in front of the castle gate, they take a left to the side of the castle.
They taken a left and approach the side of the castle. As in front of them is a giant wooden door. Sheila smiles looking at the door as she put both of her hand on the door. Sheila push it open aggressively as the giant door swing wide open. Noir and Polpo could see so many knight in some sort of leather suit fighting one another with a wooden sword.
"GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE! HOW IS YOUR MORNING?!"
All the knight stop their training as they're serious face turn into big smile. The knight throw away all their weapon and run toward us.
"CAPTAIN! GOOD AFTERNOON! WHEN DID YOU GET HERE! HOW HAVE YOU BEEN CAPTAIN?!"
The knight swarming Sheila and shout loudly asking so many question. Noir and Polpo became cramped from so many people swarming and tried to leave the swarm. Noir and Polpo manage to escape from the swarm of people and went around to check the side of the castle.
Noir and Polpo walk around to see the training ground beside the castle as Polpo start to run around carelessly. At a turn Polpo accidently bump into someone and fell to the ground, Noir catch up to Polpo and trying to see what was going on.
As Noir turn the corner, they met a familiar face.
"Oh... Good afternoon Bolevante, and Easton!"
As in front of Noir is Julius wearing a leather suit and a wooden sword and someone completely new to both Noir and Polpo...
