(Y/n)'s POV

I tried to map out the route we were taking in my head but after a few minutes I gave up. I followed the knight  blindly as I had no idea where he was leading me. He lead me to a small building right beside a large castle.

"Wow! I've never seen anything like this before."

I didn't realize I had said that out loud until the knight spoke up.

"Yeah it has that affect on everyone. Is this your first time in Lugnica?"

I turned my eyes away from the castle to look at the red haired man who had his back towards me.

"Yeah it is. I'm just visiting Lugnica with a friend."

"Oh yeah? Will I find your friend looking like you, then?"

I frowned at his statement, he looked over his shoulder to look at the displeasure on my face which made him smile a little.

"I'm just playing around with you, no need to look like that."

We continued to walk for a few more minutes before we finally got to our destination. It was a good sized town house relatively close to the castle. The exterior was much like the other houses except this house was light grey instead of white or beige.

"Here we are, now, lets get you cleaned up."

The man opened the door to the house and held the door open. At first I was confused as to why but he made a small gesture towards the inside of the house sending a clear message across. Once we were both inside he lead me inside to a bathroom.

"I'm going to need your clothes if I'm going to wash them."

"Uh... Yeah sure."

"Don't worry I'll have them clean before you've finished."

I handed my hoodie and my pants off leaving me only in my underwear and t-shirt.

"I hope you don't mind if I keep these," I said holding up Pallidum and the case I keep spare blades in, as well as other personal belongings.

"Yeah, sure I don't mind. Anyways I'll leave you alone now, you really stink."

I frowned once again but this time the young knight burst out laughing. He turned away and started to walk back down the hall, still laughing.  I shook my head and entered into the bathroom.  After a long and refreshing bath, one that I haven't had for a very long time.  I opened the door to the bathroom and found my hoodie and pants folded neatly in front of the door.  

After I got changed I explored the house a little until I found the red haired man sitting in a sort of dinning room.  He had taken off his jacket but still wore his black zip-up underneath.  He was sitting in front of a pot of stew with some kind of meat that I couldn't identify along with a bowl of rice.

"Oh, you're done have a seat you must be hungry."

"No thanks I'm good."

"Suit yourself then."

I sat across from the knight and watched him eat quietly.  My hunger had faded after the incident in the bar but I knew I had to find a reliable way to secure food without getting caught, if I was going to survive this.

"So I guess I'll introduce myself first.  My name's Reinhard, you really must have traveled far to not know of me."

"You're famous then?"

"I didn't ask to be, but most people in these part see me as a hero.  Their not wrong, I want to be a hero, it's just that I don't want my efforts to outshine the rest of my outstanding pears."
