His Masked Knight

"It is futile" Duke Allen spoke, his amber eyes glinting with unwavering arrogance. "How dare you!?" the crude looking bandit growled as he took another spare dagger. "Don't bother" a sharp, clear-cut voice slashed his thoughts. "My my Edgar, you are frightening the poor soul. Look, he is not bothering to attack with his dagger" Duke chuckled, lacing his words with superiority. It only took a slash to paint the gravel and the ground with bright red. The ground also witnessed a 'thump' and a rolling head. "Wipe that cocky smirk off. It's repulsive" the knight spat out, his eyes were filled with fury at the aloofness exhibited by his master. What would have happened if I were late? "That's not how you speak with your Master, but that's okay.." Duke said, closing the distance between him and his knight. "After all, you are" he slightly bent himself to whisper in the ear of his knight "my one-and-only Edgar Radford" his hiss sent sharp tingles through the knight's body. A rush of rosy hue brightened his white cheeks accompanied by a slight throbbing. ***** Aristocracy, a privileged class holding hereditary titles. The class of the most powerful members of society.

Mireille

"Are you perfectly sure?" I huff out a frustrated sigh at midget's uncertainty.

"I'm sure this is the correct address..." he blurts out, focusing all his attention on the pisky note in his tame hand.

The street on which we are walking is just like any typical road here. Sparse houses of red brick on either of the adjacent sides, gravel covered with grey stones, people sparsely moving around in this roaring heat. Only one or two carriage rides passing by the road.

Despite human touch neglecting this street, mother nature, on the other hand, is not so partial. Why, nature must only know equality and selflessness.

That's why, the sun is using it's mega force to shine upon the street, making it highly impossible to walk on the pavement. Many markets are closed at the time due to the intense heat. Only a countable of shops are still allowing people to move in and out. One such shop is the drugstore, our destination.
