What's that over there?

I sit down on a chair and start picking up some food that is in front of me and placing it on my plate.

During the meal, we talked about trivial and unimportant things.

"I forgot to tell you, but I'm going to start training with the knight captain." William says.

Wow, that was very unexpected!

So that was why he was there today?

Now things are starting to make sense...

Richard and Hera look at him with surprised faces.

"This is amazing!" My father says.

"When are you going to start?" Hera asks.

"I think next week. When we're home, I'll tell you more details." He answers.

So he's going to start training with a real swordsman, huh?

That's great for him. I feel like he can learn a lot more than I could by training with someone who is truly professional. If I'm not careful, William might end up being stronger than me.

I confess that I would feel a little humiliated...

But, he is on the right path. I should do the same, try to find a mage to teach me magic.

Unfortunately, I don't know any mages in the kingdom or village. I believe it is more complicated to become a wizard, as it depends much more on the amount of mana and control than the technique itself, but I may be overestimating mages.

After dinner, we all go to our rooms, it's late.

In my room, I read the rest of Arkone's biography book, with a candle holder next to my bed, illuminating the place, and then I go to sleep looking at the stars through the window.

...

Hmm? I woke up?

What time is it? It must be late...

More important than that, I need to pee!

I get up from the bed, the room is completely dark, but my vision can still adapt.

Bathroom! I need a bathroom!

If I'm not mistaken, there is a bathroom in one of the hall's corridors.

I quickly open the bedroom door and walk down the stairs.

Slightly, I look outside the windows and all the buildings are out, I must have woken up in the middle of the night with a full bladder.

I knew I shouldn't have had so much apple juice!

Going down the stairs, I see the double doors that lead outside, and two hallways, one on the right and the other on the left of the room.

Which of these was where the bathroom was??

Left or right, left or right...

Screw it! I'll go whatever my heart tells me!

And he's telling me to go to the right!

Going to the right, I enter the corridor and see the torches well spaced from each other, making the environment dark at intervals.

The stones appear to be very old, with cobwebs and moss on some parts of the floor.

This corridor is longer than usual...

There, a door!

I walk quickly and open the door on the side, finding myself in a type of cleaning room, with brooms, buckets of water, dirty cloths and some rustic cleaning utensils on shelves.

Damn it!

My bladder will explode if I don't...

The corridor still extends, however, I can see a staircase leading down, into the darkness at the end of it.

I should go back ... But my curiosity is getting the better of me!

Following the stairs, I go down, and at the end, I come across a door larger than normal, made of wood that is already old.

As I approach the door, I can hear two people talking very quietly.

I then decide to knock on the door.

*Knock Knock*

Footsteps echo behind the door. They get closer, until the door slowly opens only partially.

From the crack in the door, a knight appears and stares at me. It seems like he wants to hide something that is behind him...

It gives me goosebumps, I don't know why. Maybe because of the context I'm in.

"Who are you?" He asks me in a deep, serious voice.

"I'm Light, a guest of the princess." I answer. "I wanted to know where the bathroom is..."

When I glance at what's behind the knight, I see what appears to be a huge metallic structure.

I really want to see what this is!

"Uff..." The man sighs. "The bathroom is-"

"Is it here??" As he answers me, I unexpectedly open the door, revealing what he was trying to hide!
