Shizela's door
Infront of it stood a young man with blonde hair and light green eyes, a sword was strapped on his waist and he was wearing casual clothes that did not look casual at all due to his princely features
As he was about to knock the door, the woman with black hair and blue eyes, his maid knocked it for him instead while giving him a polite smile
"...."
" coming !"
Dismissing his displeasure of having his actions interrupted by his maid ,he waited for the owner of the unfamiliar voice to open the door for him
Creaaak
Infront of them now stood a young man who seemed below average interms of looks, he looked like a peasant to say the least but the sword they found with him was rather beyond what a peasant could get so he carefully scrutinized him even though he already did when he found him half dead in the forest, black hair and black eyes and a rather tanned, no yellow toned skin , skinny as hell with signs of being malnourished in his face based on the amount of pimples and acnea

Chhan :{ God, he's fucking handsome (felt inferior and annoyed) oh well he must be the prince }(bowed) " I greet your highness the prince "
Shizela came from behind and waved at Stephen and Carmen with a smile
Stephen :" You may rise , now let's take a seat and talk about the accident you faced Mister.. "
Chhan :{ He's also speaking english, is it an universal language or something, god I miss my people....The woman next to his side , she's pretty,( consoled his heart) she looks like Alexandra Daddario }" I am called Chhan "
Shizela :" Hurry and come on guys, and deal with the introductions here with tea "
With that we headed in and sat infront of a table with four teacups and a plate of what seemed like chocolate cookies infront of them, having never talked with royalties I was a bit nervous about this but I didn't plan to stay silent in this matter, I did read a lot of books on fantasy and learned about manners in our school so it should suffice, that was my hope
But to my surprise
CRUNCH
Shizela :(judgementally looks at Stephen)" Oy "
Stephen :(crunch crunch) " Hmm? Oh (swallows the cookies and then looked at Chhan) I will explain about how you got hurt and how you got here for you mister Chhan ".
Chhan :" (felt a bit comfortable seeing the ill manners of the prince) please I'm not worthy, just call me Chhan your highness "
On the side Carmen nodded with satisfaction upon seeing Chhan's manners
Carmen :{ That's how you should behave infront of royalty } (glances at Shizela with dissatisfaction)
Stephen :" Okay then Chhan I will begin"
With that Stephen started explaining, it seems that the white dragon that I saw there was actually a great menace to the kingdom contrary to it's divine appearance, since last month in this world it seemed to have killed over 2 hundreds of villagers with fire and devoured atleast a hundred for reasons they have yet to know, and where I was ,the forest, it was called the forest of Steelwood where the dragon seemed to have made its nest at the centre of the forest on a mountain ,and during their hunt with a group of 12 knights and 4 magicians that he leaded they chased it back there ,that was when I was caught up in their hunt and got clobbered like a ragdoll, he said they succeeded in their hunt though ,not that I cared much
" and that was how we brought you here 3 days ago for treatment, since your internals were severely injured you would've died in a normal healing clinic "
Shizela :"(chimed in the conversation with eyes as curious as a cat) It was amazing that you didn't die actually, your lungs were lacerated and your legs were a mess, are sure you're not a warrior Chhan ?"
Happy being looked at that way by a beautiful girl, I got my act together to form an excuse, I was very good at bullshitting in Earth so this shouldn't be too hard
" Well I already told Mrs Shizela that I am an aspiring scholar, but as you may already know , I'm also trying to study swordsmanship due to personal reasons, and after a few self lessons on swordsmanship I went in the forest to get some experience but, sadly I got lost and wandered in the forest for a day ,that was how I got caught up in your hunt your highness ".
Stephen nodded
Stephen :" It makes sense then "
Chhan :" Your highness may I know where my sword is? { It's better to be armed rather than not } That sword is the only thing have from my late father so it's precious to me "(faked desperation and panick on his face)
Stephen :{ Hmm he's doesn't seem to be lying (got fooled) and even though that sword was made from mythril, it seems he got it from his parents ,from his story it seemed to be a precious heirloom }" Carmen "
Carmen :" As you wish master "(closed her eyes and put her left hand out ) " Call , spatial pocket, item - one handed Mythril sword "
In an instant a violet magic circle formed on her hand and from it came out the familiar sword
Chhan sighs in relief, he was actually relieved to see the sword as he couldn't imagine having to go around this world unarmed, yes he had no plans to remain affiliated to royalties, in the stories and novels he read ,it was too rare of a good thing for a weakling like him to remain in contact with royalties after all
But he didn't immediately take the blade though, it might be rude
Shizela :(looks at Chhan ){ He's timid considering the size he has }(contained her laughter) " Take it "
Chhan :" Thank you (took the blade and unsheathed it to reveal the shining blade that seemed to be sharper than razor)".
Stephen :" And Chhan ,you may leave when are healed and you don't need to repay us for your treatment so don't worry about it "
Chhan :(had a realisation){ I haven't told them where I came from didn't I hmmmm it might become a problem if they investigated }
Shizela :" Oh right Chhan where did you come from, we can arrange transportation back to your home if you want "
Chhan :" {Aarg....} (Hid any sign of panick and instantly replied) I come from a small tribe of nomads so we don't usually stay in one place ,and my parents...are not with me anymore ".
Technically my tribe mizo used to be nomads dozens of years ago
With that we kept the conversation going and I got to know them rather well
