Imminent War (4) – The Golden Adventurer

A silhouette of a man is made inside the carriage, and slowly, he approaches the door.

When the man puts his foot on the step of the vehicle, it is possible to see what he is wearing: brown leather boots.

As Rodic leaves the van, he becomes more visible and illuminated.

A man of average height, blond, with straight hair parted in the middle, but shaved on the sides. His eyes are light green, just like a beautiful greenish ocean, or like a faint green aurora borealis. His face is apparently thin.

His eyes are almond-shaped and thin, and show a certain seriousness, like the eyes of an eagle.

He wears a green cloak that extends to his waist, and underneath, a gray outfit with leather belts going diagonally across his chest, making an X shape. He wears beige pants, which are not very tight, but finish a little before the ankle.

However, what catches my attention most is his face. Rodic wears a beige mask, very similar to a fabric mask.

Yanma, who is next to me, at the front of the carriage, steps forward and extends his hand, trying to shake him.

"It's a pleasure that you're helping us, Mr. Rodic." Yanma says while looking at the man's face. "Bow down, everyone!" Yanma speaks, and the knights kneel around the carriage.

Should I kneel??

Well, I don't want to have problems later...

I kneel along with the other knights.

Rodic holds out his hand, surprisingly he wears white gloves.

He is cautious about visa infections.

"Thanks for the reception." Rodic says. A voice that exudes coldness with a medium tone.

But, looked more closely, Yanma appears to be a little taller than him.

Maybe Yanma is tall, or he is short...

"Let's go to the Meeting Room." Yanma says as he starts walking towards the castle, which is in the middle of the kingdom.

Rodic doesn't say anything, just follows her past me as if he hadn't noticed.

Maybe he actually didn't notice.

The other knights return to their duties, while Yanma guides the adventurer.

Of course, I won't let this opportunity pass by.

I may meet an experienced adventurer. I have to enjoy the moment.

Without keeping a close distance, I follow the two of them along the path, making sure they don't notice me.

When we arrive at the castle, Yanma and Rodic pass through the gate, where two guards control the entrance to the place.

Damn, I don't think they're going to let me through...

I have to try anyway.

If I can't do it, I'll break in from the other side of the castle!

I walk towards the gate as if I were a knight.

"Hey, you need to go back to your parents." One of the knights responds.

"I thought they had already evacuated everyone." The other knight says.

"I'm friends with the royal family, so I'm royalty if you think about it." I speak a little bravely.

Clearly it's a bluff...

"What logic is this?" One of the soldiers speaks.

"Let him in." Yanma, who was walking into the castle, turns around and alerts the two guards.

"But captain..."

"It's an order." With a strong voice, Yanma says.

The two knights immediately open the gate, with a bit of fear on their faces, but they are doing very well to hide it.

I don't think anyone likes to be scolded by someone older...

Rodic looks me in the eye for the first time. His look makes me have sudden butterflies in my stomach.

Apparently, the guards and I were in the same situation.
